Is it really Christmas without orange, molasses and ginger? Seriously, it’s just the first week of December and I am already through two jars of molasses. This recipe I made as a treat for my neighbours because they are really nice people. Sharing a lot of similar recipes from India, we have near similar spice tolerance levels so they are my perfect dinner hangout spot (when invited).
This Christmas though was the first time I decided to bake for them. They have been a huge help to me this year, when I went through the toughest challenge of the year. They supported with so much grace, love and patience. This is for them!!!
