It has been so long since I wrote a blog post. I remember my friend who is also a blogger saying that it's ok and I should not feel guilty about 'Living a full life!' Strange saying if you analyse it- Living life! or a full life! But that's just it. She is right and I am living a full life. Though I do not get paid for it always in cash. I do it out of love! Taking care of my precious, beautiful and soulful girl and running my travel business 'ICare Holidayz'.
Since my last blog post, I have restarted yoga, got my blackbelt in Karate with my girl, written a couple of scripts and stories/poems. Engaged my little one to write a few scripts and stories. Edited some stories and poems and kept my travel business running. Oh and appeared in a movie audition or 2 and a dubbing tryout for a movie done by my daughter too (thanks to my neighbour friend). This coupled with the cooking and snapping pictures. So yes I have been 'Living a full life!'
Writing does take your full attention and it just doesn't flow easy. I plan on posting a couple of vegetarian recipes for the Advent (Dec 1-24, 2019) where most Christians give up on either fish, meat - red or white, eggs, milk, etc or all of these in case of some.
This recipe is a simple yet flavorsome and was suggested by my maid and friend Betty. She has a rich resource of Keralaean dishes that she excels in creating, much to the admiration of its' devoured.
Hope you enjoy this dish!
