I am a big fan of carrot cake with a cream cheese icing on top. And every year, I bake it once around the end of winter. This year I thought I change things around and bake parsnip cake instead. After all, they are cousins to each other so it makes sense to swap them out in recipes. The cake is tender, warmly spiced and not too sweet. Topped with citrusy and spiced cream cheese frosting, nuts and raisins its the perfect recipe for the tail end of winter.

Punjabi Dum Aloo
My mother in law loves potatoes. Love, as in addiction. Pretty much everything she cooks or has cooked all these years had potatoes in it. Now that they are going back to spend winters in India, I thought I should cook a farewell potato dish – Dum Aloo, for their 7 months stay with us. Dum Aloo specifically belongs to Kashmiri cuisine. It’s delicious taste made it popular all over India, hence you will find several variations of it using slightly different ingredients. No matter what you use, how you cook every dum aloo recipe is finger licking good. The recipe I have for you is of punjabi dum aloo with yogurt gravy which is enriched with charmagaz (melon seeds) and freshly ground spices.
