Delicious, crisp and crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet, vegan cashew cookies.

After my marriage, I moved to my husband’s ancestral home in the coastal town of Telicherry (now Thalassery) in Kerala. I knew practically nothing about baking at that time.

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…

Dudali with a glass of hot arrowroot drink

In the good old days of my childhood, when fast food was unheard of, pure unadulterated arrowroot powder was freely available in the market.
