Father's day cake

The  tie-dye number surprise cake
was stirring in my head. So I made the not so red olive oil cake first in a loaf pan. How I hate loaf pans. Even after 40 min there was some wet batter here and there. While slicing the loaf I realised the work was already done with D and a, I just had to send some of them for a walk.

Sponge cake with olive oil cake biscotti. The original tie dye cake used pound cake. I wonder if my letters would have spared better in a loaf pan. It did make for an emphatic visual, which was what I was going for.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
