Ahh, it's been more than a month since I last posted here. And what a month it's been! First off the meditation program that I had been to was totally amazing. Came back all glowy-glowy, though most of that has worn off by now :-D. Started baking again a week after I got back, and I made myself a list of recipes to perfect and work my way through.
I'm learning through the process of baking that I am a thorough perfectionist. If something does not come out the way it was intended to, I am too reluctant to post the recipe for you guys over here, even though it might be okay. So I have been baking quite a bit lately, but nothing seems good enough to be able to post here.
I have to keep reminding myself from time to time that this blog is 'Practice Baking' and not 'Perfect Baking'! Sometimes, I accidentally refer to my blog as the latter when I'm talking to someone about it. Sigh! Whatever am I to do with myself.
So I have been trying hard to get my hands on the perfect recipe for Karachi Biscuits, which are a popular type of cookie in Hyderabad. Tried a couple of times and failed. However, with all the experimenting that I've been doing, I've managed to create something that smells, tastes and even looks just like these cookies, except that they're in a cake form!
