Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes in a Pressure Cooker

Hello everyone. The New Year is just around the corner, so I thought I would make some easy cupcakes for you all. They are not really healthy. But it’s okay, a cupcake on the New Year’s Eve never hurt anybody. And all of you will be starting your healthy diet routine from 1^st of January 2017, right? So cupcakes won’t be a problem (wink). Here is what you will need,

	Ingredient	Quantity
1.	Flour (I used multi grain one)	2 tbsp.
2.	Chocolate	50 grams
3.	Butter	25 grams
4.	Curd	1 tbsp.
5.	Honey	1 tsp.
6.	Baking Powder	¼ tsp.
7.	Baking Soda	A pinch

Procedure:

1. Melt the chocolate in the double boiler. Read this article on how to set up the same (http://ahappygirlwrites.blogspot.com/2014/11/peanut-butter-chocolates.html).

2. Sift all the dry ingredients i.e. flour, baking soda and baking powder.

3. Add in the softened butter and mix it really well.

4. Add in the curd and honey.

5. Finally mix the melted chocolate.

6. Add the prepared mixture to medium sized silicone cupcake containers. The containers should be filled only halfway. Place these cupcakes in the flat bottomed vessel.

7. Place this vessel in the (aluminium) pressure cooker. You can also put a cooker plate below it.

8. Put the lid on the pressure cooker without the whistle and let the cupcakes cook for 10-12 minutes on high heat. You need to let the cooker cool down and it will take 10 more minutes and then your cupcakes are ready to be enjoyed.

I know this isn’t how a traditional cupcake looks like, but that’s my version.

Multi-tasking women in the ghoonghat

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing great. Today I have an incident to share with you all. I somehow always believed that rather being born with multi-tasking quality, we women learn it as we transition from being girls to women. These women mentioned in the title have actually made me believed that we women are born to be multi-taskers. So here I narrate this particular incident.

Few weeks ago, I was out with my mother and we came across four to five small shops selling unbreakable utensils. Those were just temporary shops set up outside small huts. There was quiet a large crowd buying stuff out there, so out of curiosity we went there just to have a look around. My mom usually takes a lot of time to shop even for a pin, so I had a plenty of time to observe the people around. The scene I saw there was quiet a life changer for me. All the shops had women were selling the utensils. Each of the lady had a little baby on her lap and one or two more young kids. The men of the house were busy cooking. What struck me was the ability of these women to handle the customers, feeding the baby and keeping an eye on the other kids all at the same time. Also the men were letting their wives take the lead and helping them to deal with just the “I am the best bargainee” kind of people.

These people might not have read about or learnt or even heard about the word “multi-tasking” or “gender equality”, but they were so good at it that. There are times when we complain that we have so much to do and we have so little time to do that. But for me, these women were epitome of being the multi-taskers. There was so much to learn from these not so privileged women and men as well. If these women could do everything so perfectly, why not us? We have more facilities than them and we probably should stop complaining about too much work. I always believed that, if women are given chance, they can accomplish anything in this world. These women were just an example of that. I wish there were more men in our society who supported women and watch them succeed. This incident did leave an impact on me which is why I decided to share it with you all.

So friends, if you have any such incident to share with my friends over here, please feel free to write that in the comments below.
