Chocolate Monkey Bread

Ramadan and Eid has come to an enPind… So quick… I feel quite numb doing this post. Somehow, my brain still cannot register the fact that those lovely days are over. It all came too quick and there was a total frenzy at home. Umma and I were immersed in cooking and feeding, apart from the Eid prayers and the loads of guests who were there at home. Whatever said and done, enjoyed every bit of it. My umma very tactfully ensured that I take the responsibility of making the biriyani on the day of Eid! Hmm… Made mutton biriyani and my umma chipped in with fried chicken and paal pizhinjathu. OK, please don’t force me to share the mutton biriyani here, as I was not fully satisfied with outcome, even though it was all wiped up and I had some pretty happy tummies at home! We had it for the next day for lunch as well, so at least it meant, the second day was relaxed with no cooking at all! 🙂

Since I didn’t want to break my head on which post I should be working on next, I just decided to complete the Home Bakers Challenge of breads, which is being hosted by Manjula of Desi Fiesta. After thinking a few times and going through my pantry, I decided to bake the Monkey Bread. First of all, I loved the idea of the pull apart and then I loved the brown sugar-cinnamon combination! Within two hours, I had the house smelling of freshly baked yeasted bread. Thankfully, I had guests that day so I served it to them, who loved it! At home, already I have a big bad name of looking at sweet bakes only, but then somehow everybody gobbled up a single piece each and liked it. Thank you Manjula for this lovely challenge, really enjoyed doing it! 🙂
