Covering the courtyard of my ancestral home at Thalassery stands a huge old mango tree.

Sweet Khichadi – A traditional teatime snack (Gluten Free)

Sweet Khichadi accompanied by sliced ripe Nendran bananas.

Whenever I think of Khichadi, all of sudden, I am a little schoolgirl again, transported back to the magical time of childhood. I remember waiting for the long bell to ring at the end of the last period to rush back home, often running at breakneck speed, to see what goodies mother has cooked for…
