Love and Calories!!

And the time has come when I post the recipe of the God of all Desserts, TIRAMISU, on my food blog. I have relished this dessert many a times but my love towards it grew when I tasted it in the very own Italy. The lush layered dessert made me feel like an angel with wings flying up and above, reaching the clouds. I truly felt like am in heaven & heaven was in my mouth. No wonder, Tiramisu means "Pick me Up"!! I was on a hunt to get the original ingredients to make it at home so our good old friend Maria Ferreto came to my rescue and not only she shared her original recipe with me but also gave me the original ingredients straight from Italy. I was delighted!! This is a very delicate yet an easy dessert recipe with an explosion of various tastes bursting in your mouth. The coffee liquer soaked savoairdi biscuits, the soft cheesy custard, a hint of Marsala wine strumming your taste buds & finally a coat of chocolaty cocoa.....its all in there in the Luxury Tiramisu.

As soon as September comes, I begin to miss India more than ever. All the festivities, fun, frolic begins from this month. Right from Ganesh Chathurthi, Onam, then to Navaratri, Dussera and ending on a high note with the Super Diwali night, it is a real treat to watch these Celebrations happening through out the country. And I feel so aloof from all the festive fun & moreover feel sad to miss all those lip smacking sweet dishes which are made during these days. :( But am a girl who doesn't give up that easily. I have decided to have the same fun over here too with a little customization from the usual ;) I brought Lord Ganesha home on the Ganesh Chathurthi Day & will be treating him UK style for the next 10 days. Milk, fruits, sundal, kheer, laddoos & modaks are on my menu for him. :) Though Keralites don't celebrate in a grand scale like this, but I love to Celebrate it in the same way as the Maharashtrians do. One of my offerings to Lord Ganesha was...

Its always a great feeling and a moment of pride when some one appreciates your work and rewards you. It is the same in case of Blogging too. When I started to blog a few months back (its almost 8 months now), I never knew, that I am entering into a whole new world of "Bloggyland"!! Thousands of Bloggers writing a post each day and you are just another small fish in the big Blogging ocean. I was mesmerized to see some bloggers write so beautifully, some click amazing pictures for their post & some highly skilled in their presentation. But when they appreciate your small effort, your collar gets a little high. ;) The simple e-awards which I received for my blog was so motivating that it made me stick on to what I am doing and a bit more. "Tagging" a blog is the new way of awarding a blogger & am very fortunate that I have been TAGGED by Kim Burtland aka Kimby of alittlelunch.com Please do visit her website for the wonderful clicks, great writing, deli...

Hello Everyone! Its been a really long time sine I posted any dish on my blog. I was busy holidaying and lazying around for the past 3 weeks. I have umpteen number of dishes to post on the blog but was not getting time to put any of it. I was pre-occupied with the household chores, had been to my friend's place for a few days, then witnessed a Live Cricket Match in a stadium. My schedule was hectic but truly fun filled. I was in no mood to touch the Laptop after that. And now starts the Festive season of Indians . So am busy cooking up sweet dishes, every alternate day. I have a whole lot of pending recipes to show you all & I don't know where to start from. But for now, let me post my first pending dish which was in the queue for quite some time now. TANDOORI CHICKEN!! Any Indian Blog is missing something, if the blogger hasn't posted a recipe of India's most popular & Internationally renowned dish.... "Tandoori Chicken". ;) "Tandoor", in Hi...
