Margazhi, holy month of music (15th Dec to Jan 14th), is here. Year after year, i do madras sabha hoppings to sample both the musical ragas and the sabha canteens to check out the seasonal Vazhaipoo Vadai (banana blossom fritter). Such is the vibe of this season.

now, i am in united states, and i am missing the Margazhi season… trying to recreate the vibe by listening to the Thirupaavai and cooking the Vazhaipoo Vadai. I am also trying to keep a new tradition of my own, by reflecting on what i need and what not.

A patterned sky with birds flying in the distance — is that the arrows point backwards so nobody gets lost on the way back home. Isn't that clever?

Tried my hand at making Vazhaipoo Vadai — a seasonal favorite during the Margazhi in Chennai. Actually turned out pretty good for a first try!
