Christmas is just a week away and a holiday mood is taking over. India too is gearing up for Christmas and a New year weekend. While the world readies itself to celebrate I’m ready to feast on all the cakes that comes with Xmas. Though Plum cake and chocolate cake form an important part of Christmas menu, I was searching for something different and different is what I found.
This video (from Videojug.Com) tells you how to make Vegan (eggless) Coffee cake. Haven’t asked my mother to make this one, but I guess I will before the 25th. Meanwhile, you can enjoy this video and let us know how your Eggless coffee cake creation turned out

Diwali is all about Sweets isn’t it? I thought so too. But snacks and spicy eats are also an important accompaniment along with those Mithais.

Diwali is here, Yay! More than the crackers, it’s time for a fun get-together with family and friends and lots of Sweets, of course. Starting with Ganesha Chaturthi and Dasara, Diwali ends the Hindu festival season in a grand scale and then sets the atmosphere later for Christmas and New year.
Deepavali (festival of lights) is when the whole of India and Indian communities abroad, is decked with bright lights, mad-shopping and colors everywhere. Ok, coming to the food part; Deepavali is also the time to gorge on sweets and tons of them!
Here is a collection of 5 types of Halwa (Halva) Recipes. These have been adapted from a Tamil magazine and collated by my sister Harini.
