Apple Cinnamon Cake...

Due to popular demand (no, don't laugh... folks are really asking for it) I'm putting up this wonderful cake recipe too right on the heels of my last recipe. This cake is seriously good, it gets wolfed down in seconds, and the divine smell of cinnamon wafting through the house is in a way invigorating. 

Ingredients:
1 cup maida (or all purpose flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 1/2 Tablespoon butter (roughly 40 gms)
1 Egg
1/2 cup milk
2 medium sized apples (peeled, cored and sliced)

First combine half the powdered sugar with the cinnamon powder in a bowl. Also combine the maida with the baking powder in another container.

The rest of the sugar and the 40 gms of butter go into another bowl.

Drop in one egg and beat up the mixture.

Now alternatively add the flour...
and the milk stirring after each addition to form a nice creamy batter of pouring consistency. 

Grease and flour the cake tray, pour in half the batter...

Arrange sliced apples in layers over the batter...

Sprinkle half the sugar cinnamon powder over the apples...

Now pour the remaining batter over the apples... and sprinkle the rest of the sugar cinnamon powder over it. (I did not use the entire thing, I thought it might be too sweet...so I sprinkled only a little and it was good enough. It depends on you really... use your intuition.) Now stick it in the oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes till it turns slightly brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out looking clean.
Here is the Apple Cinnamon cake straight out of the oven, looking wonderful & smelling heavenly. 

The juicy succulent apples inside...
I really love this cake, will definitely make it again using double the quantity of ingredients. Do give this a try and have a wonderful time reveling in the pure pleasure that wafts out of the oven and fills your home when you bake this delightfully easy cake.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
