Oozing chocolate cake

I am looking for a dessert to make for guests. Some good ones like banana pudding need chilling. Its 75F. So what I am looking for is a warm dessert. Oozing chocolate cake fits the needs. Lets see how it turns out.

Its soft. Tastes good when warm. But the time to bake needs to be doubled than what is in the recipe.

My friend walked into the kitchen to see if she could help with anything. I had the batter ready thinking that since the baking time is under 15 min, I could get the dessert during the main course. When she looked at the brown batter being ladled into the ramekins
'Imli(tamarind) hai kya?'

Later when I finally got the dessert done, she appreciated the warmth of the dessert even though chocolate is not her favourite. Now I see why she didnt guess the batter to be of chocolate.

I have seen desserts charm people especially when they get done when people are ready for it. Use this tip generously.

My friend got me Mango burfi, Sutar pheni. Her husband while explaining pheni said not to confuse it with Nira.

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
