I'm a fan of your website and I've already made a few dishes from here, which were delicious =) An Azeri friend of mine asked if I've ever had Khingal. I searched your recipes and couldn't find one that matched that. It's a winter meal for them. If you do have a recipe already, could you point it out to me? Or if it isn't too much trouble, could you try making one for everyone to enjoy? Thanks! Hi Feride.

Could you please give me more details about the xengal you tried there? Is it like a dumpling? Shape? Size? Stuffed? Not stuffed? Any other details. I have several xengal recipes, maybe I have what you need. MARINA - Salam:) Thank you for stopping by. Could you please give me more details about the xengal you tried there? Is it like a dumpling?

I'm interested in Azeri food because I lived in Azerbaijan for two years -- I taught English in Ismayilli as a Peace Corps volunteer from 2008-2010. During my time in the Ismailli rayon, I ate some really good xengal in Lahic. Now that I'm back home, I am looking for a recipe to try making it myself. I looked in your index but I didn't see anything for xengal. I know some Azerbaijanis prepare xengal similarly to how Georgians make khinkali but the xengal in Lahic was special. You should post a recipe if you have one, or let me know if you have any suggestions! Cox sag ol, Marina Eziz Feride,

I have questions about your Zebra Cake. What brand of all-purpose flour do you use? I will be measuring by weight on my digital scale to insure recipe accuracy. Volume measurements are inaccurate for more than one reason. For example, there is no industry standard for measuring vessels, i.e., each manufacturer has a different idea of what a cup equals, and so forth. Not only that, but the procedure used to measure flour by volume will determine how much flour you are actually measuring (fluff, spoon, and level, vs. scoop and level). Perhaps, these are reasons why people sometimes have problems with baking recipes. Where did you get the figures for the ingredient weights in your Zebra cake recipe? My figures for flour are different than yours, and I am wondering whether you actually weighed the ingredients. For example, King Arthur lists its all-purpose flour as weighing 4.25 oz per cup of flour vs. your measurement of 5 oz. Thanks in advance for you help. Keep up the excellent work!
