OK I know many of you are drooling over the yummy pastries at the edge of the picture. Don’t worry, I will be putting up more nuggets later this week. But that chocolate tower made me smile. After all, chocolate is my happy food!

Silent Sundays: Food Art
Time for another Silent Sunday! Every week, I’ll put up a picture that would ask you, my dear visitor, to give me a perspective instead. Feel free to drop in a line about the picture. Wish you a great new week ahead!
Paan Khaye Saiyan Hamaro
No Indian meal can be complete unless there is a mukhwas (mouth freshener) of some sort. While most often it is fennel seeds, special occasions also call for a betel leaves with an array of stuffings. Down south, its called beeda, and is usually stuffed with crated coconut, fennel seeds, sugar and roasted and flavored beetle…
Dessert Is Served!
I love Jalebies that too with rabri, a combination to die for! Yes, after consuming so many calories you might get a small jolt for sure. Now that’s a classy way to end a sumptuous meal! But wait that’s not where the meal ends. Tune in for the next post in the sequence to see how…
A Fulfilling Meal
A few days ago my mom and I decided to eat at a place that offers thali (full meals as opposed to buffet and à la carte menus). Instead of going to pick out food, you are served right at your table. This plate has rotis, puran polis, green chutney, ketchup, mango pickle, salad, dhokla, farsan, dahi…
Steaming Hot Ulundu Vadas!
As a true-blue south Indian, we live, breath and stuff certain kinds of food. Cut us and we’d bleed sambhar and filter coffee! So a sight of piping hot medu vadas, and I couldn’t keep my camera away. I don’t know if you think it drool worth, but it tasted just as heavenly as it…
Bottled Goodness
Boxing day usually is just as colorful as the day before. We don’t really have that concept here, because as Hindus, our Christmas really is during Diwali. However most of us tend to enjoy every festival with a lot of gusto as we come from a free-minded liberal thought process. And these celebrations are not compulsive,…
Goodness on a Plate
Not all the food you get on the beach is unhealthy. On our last stroll along the backwaters, we saw several stalls of cut fruit plates. So if you are avoiding the beach so that you don’t snack unhealthy, then you can go back there again without fear!
More Memories to Savour
As the seasons change, memories fleet past as flashes. On let another stroll on the beach, another stall full off goodies was waiting to greet us. The stall has boiled chestnuts (I prefer them raw), star fruits, ber, tamarind, raw mangoes and heaps of fresh Aniseed. How I miss my blissfully ignorant school days!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Celebration 2
What good is a celebration without the savouries and desserts? Back here, every occasion and festival calls for special sweets that adds to the traditional value. I captured this shot on my way to the Haji Ali Darga, this is a sweet made of semolina (also known as rava or suji here). While the plain white…
