Colorful Holi
Gujiya - Indian Sweet
When you think of gujiya your think of HOLI (the colorful festival of India) or vice versa. I have fond memories helping my mom in the kitchen making gujiya and storing them in huge containers more for our consumption than distribution 
Ahh…those were the days!

Indians love their halwas, be it be carrot halwa, kesari / suji halwa or aate ka halwa (made from wholewheat flour). This one just melts in your mouth as your devour it. The best one I have ever had is at the Gurudwara (religious place for the Sikhs) where aate ka halwa is distributed to the devotees as khada prasad. No matter how many time I tried, I must admit I never even was close to the one we get at Gurudwaras! But, it is still doable…so do try it out

I simply love baking cakes. If not for the calories, I could have baked one every day! Nothing beats the gentle aroma wafting from the oven as the cake gets done. I remember how excited my sister and myself used to get on getting back home and smelling a hot freshly baked cake! I am sharing here a simple carrot cake recipe which also happens to be one of my favorite. Coming to think of it, there are not many cakes that I do not like but nevertheless!!
