Hello, dear readers! It's been more than a year, and I'm finally back on the blog after an unintended break. Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges, and for me, this past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions, loss, and rediscovery. Balancing my full-time job and family responsibilities kept me incredibly busy, with blogging taking a back seat. In the midst of this whirlwind, I felt really sad when my dad, who was always strong and wise, passed away. It left a big emptiness in my life, and the normal things I used to do every day felt really hard. It was like facing a huge mountain I didn't think I could climb. Grief can change how we see things and what matters most to us. The joy I've always found in food blogging has been a source of comfort in the past, and I'm hopeful that it will continue to provide solace during this challenging time.

As the saying goes, time heals wounds, and with each passing day, I will find strength in the memories of my father and the lessons he imparted—especially those about the importance of savoring life's simple pleasures. So, here I am, dusting off my apron and rekindling the flames on my stove, ready to embrace the therapeutic art of cooking and blogging once again.

Join me on this journey back to relaxation, where I will try to share simple, comforting recipes. Let's find peace in the midst of life's chaos, one delicious dish at a time.

Hello everyone!! It's been a while since I posted anything in the blog. Today I am sharing the delicious chocolate banana cake that combines the sweet flavor of ripe bananas with chocolate. Making something with ripe bananas on weekends is my weekly routine since nobody at home likes to eat ripe bananas. Usually, I make unniyappam or whole wheat banana muffins or banana bread, but after trying this recipe, I am making this frequently as we all love this chocolate banana flavor.

I spent my free time scrolling food pages in Instagram and some of the Kerala based food pages are so addictive. One such page is Chef Pillai and I love all his dishes. His dishes remind me of food at my maternal grand mothers house and I always drool over his egg roast which he pairs with Kerala parotta or Idiyappam. Recently, I am making it quiet often at home and hence thought of sharing it here.

Wishing you all a very happy new year 2022. May the new year brings much happiness, peace and prosperity, and the world will be a safe place again. Today I am sharing a simple fritter recipe which I got from a local supermarket magazine. The original recipe uses halloumi along with corn and zucchini. I didn't have it in hand and I substituted it with grated cheese. It tasted so delicious and I love the addition of spring onion. It can be whipped super quickly for an evening snack.
