Happy New Year 2016 with Ragi Carrot and Nut Cake

Ragi Carrot and nut cake

I looked once or twice to make Cardamom Cream Cake but because of the many steps, I passed it.
When Ragi Carrot and Nut Cake came across, I looked at few ingredients and thought it might be fine. My sister likes fruit and nut cake around this time, so i thought it might be fit in well. I had just looked at Ragi dark chocolate cake but it just used 1/2 cup flour and this one was more than 2 cups flour. So I went ahead with it, I thought it a good time to use Panela. Everything was fine until I came across the step for grated carrots and potatoes, Potatoes I thought .. must be some mistake. I went to the ingredients list and sure enough found potatoes there. I knew I wasnt going to put potatoes in the cake. I went ahead and doubled the carrots itself. meanwhile, the flour mixture, butter and panels were all looking still crumbled and in need of some wet ingredient. And then I realised that I still had to use yogurt. My little helper said it got hard to mix. I realised that I needed to add some more liquid to it. I added some milk. Somewhere around this point I gave up on it.                                                                                                                                                                             Went ahead with Hyderabadi chand cookies. I realised that they are similar to Sugar cookies. well into the minutes of new year, the ragi cake didnt show signs of cooking. It seemed like I had put the fork into a swamp and I could have dredged out a lotus. I bake dit upwards of 1hr 10 min and postponed looking at it till morning. In the morning, I found that it hardened. since the cake is there anyways, we got ready to cut it. And then cutting it, my husband and I were taking turns following each other in a bee line for the cake.

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
