Pumpkin Peda/Truffles
It’s Diwali today and I am feeling a little homesick. Not that we had lavish celebrations for Diwali but it was still a great time to decorate with lit oil lamps, light fireworks with friends, get gifts and eat tons of deliciously rich food. Now that I live in the U.S., I do not get to celebrate Diwali that often but every now and then I try to recreate as much as I can of this wonderful festival of lights. Spe…

Pumpkin Pie à la Moi

Since the condensed milk was already sweet, I didn’t add sugar; instead, I chose to add a tablespoon of honey. Then, I messed around with all of the other ingredients until the mix seemed right.
