in Failed! Let's Experiment

A year ago I baked my first ever chouquette with great enthusiasm as it is one of my favorite snack in the world. Unfortunately it didn’t went well. Just like I named the failed marble cake as Mr Shorty, I call this chouquette Missy Flat.

Flat Chouquette Anyone?

If I want to be an ignorant fool, I can say that I invented a new snack! LOL

in Dessert, Indian

Carrot halwa or gajar halwa (gajrela) is a sweet dish from Punjab, India. Halwa means sweets or candy in Arabic while carrot is called gajar in Gujarati. Now don’t ask me how these 2 words come together for I’m lost. :P Like carrot kheer, this dessert is served at special occasion like birthdays, Deepavali and weddings. I make carrot halwa because I’m curious whether it will taste anything like carrot kheer. And also to find a reason to use my newly bought precious = saffron. ;)
