The arrival of fall is a reminder to enjoy the warm days before the winter kicks in but for Indians, fall is also the time we prep ourselves for the festive season – Ganesh Chaturthi, Krishna Janmashtami (Solar Calendar), Diwali and Vijayadashami 🙂

The major part of any festival is the mouth watering dishes you get to gorge on 🙂

I visited my family during summer and had the best of the time possible. It’s quite a challenge to get back to the routine after a super fun vacation!

 

It took a while for me to get back to my blog and here I am updating the delicacy I made for Ganesh Chaturthi – Apricot Pudding. This recipe needs just 2 ingredients!
