Spicy Oats and Semolina Cake with Peanut Sauce

Cooking has evolved into an act of existence from being just a habit of the sophisticated. My children, both my daughters and my son, wear a tasty intellect. They can accurately reconstruct taste memories of previous versions of a particular dish and chirp out advises like a pro. This is one of those favorite wholesome quick and comfort dishes that they can cook without knowing that they are cooking. They just like to add more nuts and less chili in the recipe. There are also more traditional Bengali recies, read-only for now (see Recipe Index).
