Gingerbread making is an annual tradition in our house that I wouldn’t miss for anything. Usually we build one on Christmas Eve. Looking at photos from previous years inevitably brings a huge smile to my face-sneaky children popping sweets into their mouths instead of on the house while thinking they are being so discreet! All caught on camera, of course. Although we’ve been making gingerbread houses for years, we’ve always bought kits and just assembled and decorated them....

Instead, this instant arisi murukku is made from besan flour or gram flour which gives it an extra boost of flavor without needing a grinder....

When I was baking the Moroccan Olive Bread, my little one was not too happy as he is not a big fan of olives....
