Using adai as my inspiration, I made an extremely protein-packed version with lentils and quinoa, and to make them even more fun, turned them into savory waffles. They are an excellent hot & filling breakfast, perfect for a weekend, and best enjoyed with spicy coconut chutney!

Uttarayan🪁 meant two days of non-stop kite-flying on the nani's terrace with the cousins, with plates of seasonal goodies perfect for the cool winters. The one almost synonymous to the festival is chikki. I love the unhulled, nuttier black sesame so much. That, when paired with sumac flavored chocolate ganache is a flavor combo to revel in.
