Healthy Poulli

Polli was my favorite breakfast, growing up. But, we had to travel 24 miles to get it at the famous restaurant "Subash."

I had to live with nostalgia of peeling the layers of polli (the way I used to eat it as a child) and imagine tasting the cardamom spiced sweet filling.

Realizing after all these years that no Polli restaurant is going to sprout in our neighborhood, I finally decided to take matters into my own hand. As I am now a reasonably good cook and having a knack for extracting a recipe just by tasting, I have succeeded in making a very tasty & healthy Polli.

Just have a look at the pics: the color & thinness of the Polli skin and layer, the thickness of the ample filling...  Yum!   My kids love the Soosium I make and I hope they'll like this healthy version of Polli. I wish I knew how to make Polli for mummy...

New Pope chose Francis!

This is a glorious day!

A new pope is chosen and he chose St. Francis's name for him. Pope Francis I!
So much promise in that choice of name. The new pope is thinking of the poor and of peace...

Of course I am doubly happy remembering our gentle and pious dada, GFR-- Francis! This pope hails far away from Europe, but is going to be a pious and gentle father for all the people of the world.

The other pious grandparents of D, J & N also are Francispillai and Francisca...

Glory be to God!
