Sabudana Vada | Sago Fritters

By
There are some people who enter your life like gems. These are the real diamonds. They have no ulterior motives, no inferiority complex, no superiority complex, no need to prove that they are better than you, or seek to have more than you. They don’t feel entitled and aren’t needy or dependent. They are not superficial or fake. They remind you of God and they understand you, when no other person does. They don’t wear a mask with you or pretend to be perfect. They are just real with you and honestly and sincerely only want good for you. You feel you can tell them anything without worrying that they will judge you or put you down for being imperfect. They know your flaws, but love you anyway. And they are loyal. You know they’ll be there for you. They'll always have your back. And best of all, time and distance doesn’t change this.

Just back from an amazing trip to Nagpur, my hometown. Had been for a school reunion. We were meeting each other after 20 years. Many friends couldn't make it due to some personal commitments, but the rest of us who made it, had the most amazing time of our lives. We just laughed and laughed and laughed. The bonding was so so good. Unimaginable. Nothing changed, except that most of us have put on some enormous amounts of weight. The 3 days that we were together, were really well spent and had an experience of a lifetime!!! 


Coming back to the recipe. This is a classic street food in most parts in Maharasthra. Served along with fried green chillies, this tastes heavenly, especially with ginger tea!

2 cups sabudana/sago, soaked overnight, (check the process of soaking here)
1 big potato, boiled, peeled,

Sesame Seed Pellets - Til Ke Laddu

By
Happy Makar Sankranti & Pongal to all!!! Makar Sankranti is perhaps the only Indian festival whose date always falls on the same day every year i.e. the 14th of January. Can you guess why? This is because the festival of Sankranti is based on the solar calendar unlike the rest of Indian festivals, which are based on the lunar calendar. Makar literally means "Capricorn" and Sankranti is the day when the Sun changes it's position from one sign of the Zodiac to the other. Even though Sankranti comes every month, in the month of Magha (January) it is considered especially auspicious as it coincides with the harvest season and marks the end of the winter season. (Info: Google) Being a South Indian, I've relived the happiness and joy of Pongal every year... Though I did make chakara pongal which is customary in our house, I also decided to make Til Ke Laddu or tilgul . The sesame seed or til is given a lot of importance because in this season it is considered ...
