A Time To Bond / Traditional Mangalorean Goodies / Christmas Eats
Christmas is a time for bonding and Kal Kals, Rose Cookies And Diamond Cuts provide ample opportunity to do so. As children, all of us were roped in for the making of these whether we liked it or not. We were each given a large, steel tray and a fork and the whole family would sit together to make Kal Kals. This was the time we talked, joked, fought and competed with each other to be the best. Many hands make light work and it is no wonder huge amounts of eats would be ready in minutes.
His & Hers / Sugared Cashew Nuts /Masala Cashew Nuts
Christmas for me is synonymous with Sugared Cashew nuts and everything nice. However, my dear spouse prefers the spicy version, so I always make some for him so that I can eat the sugared nuts all by myself!
My Sweet Obcession / Spanish Macaroons
Macaroons have their special charm. You place them on a baking tray and watch them take their own shape, spreading in every direction as if to express their individuality.
Melting Moments / Christmas Ladoos / Besan Oonde
My mother always made sooji ladoos for Christmas and our neighbour Kala’s mum would send these gorgeous melting moments. You can never have enough of them.
Steamed Vegetarian Ginger Pineapple Rice
The aroma of Pineapple Rice makes your mouth water and it’s amazing how such a simple dish is packed with loads of flavour.
Red Velvet Fruit Cake And Ranita’s Coffee Brownies
My theme this year is “the colour red”, so am making only red eats. Today am including two recipes. The Red Velvet Recipe is Serita’s and I have changed it into Red Velvet Fruit Cake and also included a recipe for Designer Coffee Brownies made by Ranita who is fast mastering the art of baking.
