Parsee Red Chicken Curry — Cozy up with a touch of spicy homemade Indian this weekend!
This morning I woke up to thoughts of pristine white sand, turquoise
waters, barefoot walks on the beach, and the blissful beauty of seclusion. Such
is life lately—fairy tale dreams and thoughts of paradise. Yes, paradise.
Hope you have had a wonderfully lovely year-end, and a beautiful
beginning to the new year.

Pistachio Loaf with Drippy Icing—wishing you a very merry, and a happy, happy!
It’s Christmas Eve and there is a feeling of
beauty and magic and holiday all round.
Everyone seems to be on vacation from work with
the busy-ness of last-minute shopping, family get-togethers, nights in front of
the fire, holiday soirees, lingering dinners, and family traditions.
And while on the topic of holidays and
celebrations, I am a little wistful for festive cheer and fairy lights and snow
and a trip to Paris (ah, yes!), but most of all, mistletoe.

Double Chocolate Chunk Peanut Cookies
It is the night before.
There is a spirit of magic and holiday all around the
world.
And in all the feeling
of excitement, I am home alone, enjoying a few days of vacation from work, while
soaking up the beauty and magic in the air, and catching up on a few lovely
things.
One of my very favorite
things during the holiday season—besides the cozy late mornings under the
blanket, sleeping ins, and the romance of late night movies with many cups of
coffee—is baking up a storm in the kitchen.

Orange Almond and Yogurt Loaf—light, moist, and deliciously moreish
Christmas is around the corner, and the clock
is ticking down hurriedly to a whole new exciting year.
The festive season is always a special and
memorable time. It brings family and friends together with rituals and traditions,
sparkle and magic, gifts and fun and food.

Sambar Using Store Bought Sambar Powder — Happy Onam!
Happy Onam.
Onam brings fond memories.
Memories of draping in traditional gold-bordered settu mundu, wearing jimikki earrings with strings of fresh jasmine flower adorning the hair, creating pookkalam—the colorful and intricate arrangement of fresh flowers on the floor—with friends, clapping and moving around in a group to the tune of thiruvathira song, and, enjoying the elaborate and most exquisite vegetarian feast, sadya.
The harvest festival of Onam—the most important festival in Kerala—celebrates the mythical homecoming of King Mahabali, the legendary king who reigned the state in the golden era. Per legend, he visits his subjects every year, and Keralites celebrate it with pomp and great frevor. Onam also signals the end of monsoon seaon.
