  I watched a YouTube video where a non-English speaking chef did this or something like it. I took notes and made guesses: Note: I was out of chili paste this week, so I am making some by using chili flakes and hot (smoked) paprika with a few drops of olive oil to make a paste. In case it isn't obvious, some of the ingredients in this recipe are quite "hot". Wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water, and do not do not do not touch your eyes! pot tongue, water above the meat 3 tbs salt cinnamon sticks handful of cloves maybe 2 tbs some bay leaves boil, cool, peel cut into small pieces  pan oil (generous), like 4 tbs chopped onion, fry until light brown crushed garlic 2 small chopped tomatoes mix, mix, mix 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp garam masala 2 tsp cumin chili paste, 1/4 tsp red chili powder 1/2 tsp tumeric mix, mix. mix 10 minutes add tongue another 3 minutes 2 tbsp oil add 1.2 cup water cook low heat, cover 2 tbs lime juice 1/2 tsp mixed herbs...

Notes: The recipe doubles well. We're using whole spelt flour because that's what we keep in the house. It would probably work better with all-purpose flour. Ingredients 3 tbsp whole spelt flour 1 tsp instant coffee powder 2 tbsp chocolate powder or sweetened cocoa powder  2. to 3 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp Milk 1 large egg 2 tbsp vegetable (not olive, omg) Oil 1/2 tsp  1/2 tsp vanilla extract Method  In a mixing bowl combine the flour, coffee powder, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well. Add milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract, and stir with a fork just until combined. Pour this into a greased mug or bowl and microwave on high for 90 seconds (or a few seconds more) until cooked through. (DO NOT OVER COOK) Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply dust with powdered sugar. ENJOY!!!!! NOTE: you can use cocoa powder instead of drinking chocolate mix, in that case add 1 or 2 tbsp more of sugar according to your taste.
