Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls | Quick and easy Christmas gift idea | Kukskitchen

Its Christmas again. Yeah!!!

It is the most wonderful time of the year. I luv everything about it, right from the lent leading up to it, decorating the christmas tree with baubles, decorations and lots and lots of lights, all the gift making and wrapping, the special midnight mass at church and the delicious food I get to make for my family and friends.

Rugelach | Jewish rolled cookie | Kukskitchen

I had many reasons to research Jewish traditions, the first reason being my favourite character - Ross - in my all-time-favourite US sit-com 'F-R-I-E-N-D-S'. The first thing I ever knew was Hanukkah (Chanukkah). Who can forget the ' Holiday Armadillo' :D. I was so addicted to 'Friends' that my dear hubby brought me their series for Christmas a few years back. Recently I found myself amidst colleagues (bosses :-) ) celebrating holidays like Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Time for more research! This time my search revolved around Jewish food and my eyes swiftly landed on Rugelach -  a Jewish pastry of Ashkenazic origin.

Fish curry Trivandrum style featuring drumsticks | Kukskitchen

Being born and brought up in the capital city, I have a few favourites from trivandrum. This particular recipe became close to my heart during my pre-degree days when my dear friend S used to bring in this fish curry made by her umma. I didn't know the recipe then, but made sure I knew it later on.
