So we just celebrated Divali in November and Christmas is coming up, so what makes these holidays so special for us of course its the celebration of light overcoming darkness for the Hindu and Christian community but I think its' the food too. Divali is celebrated by the East Indian community, if you're not one you look forward to being invited by your friends and neighbors to eat. Other than the channa and aloe, there re other dishes like lapsi' which is a broken wheat, ghee with nuts, raisins and dried fruits. Other than 'mohanbhog' which is prepared just like parasad.
Then there is Christmas which has Spanish and English influences. We got pastelles and poncho de crème from the Spanish. I mentioned in a previous post that we got our baking and broiling methods from the British so that's how we end up baking our ham and turkey, even our popular fruit 'black' cake.
