RecipeReplica: Cottage Cheese And Dry Fruit Bars

What was meant to be a cake ended up as a cakey bar. Well, it maybe because I didn't use the Indian Cottage Cheese(Paneer) that the original recipe called for as I didn't have it handy.

Steamed Sweet Dumplings "Kozhukattai"/ "Modak"

Reason for 2 weeks of "non-existent" state -- 9 days of vacationing in scorching Florida, 2 days of recovering/relaxing, 2 days of suffering from bellyache and bathroom breaks because of these little dumplings. No, no they weren't a bad batch. They were so good that they promptly made me forget "All things in moderation" and turned me into...
