Tandoori Turkey & Chai-spiced Fruit Cake…

Tandoori Turkey…with masala stuffing. Chai-spiced fruit cake…laced with cardamon, cinnamon and pistachio.  A christmas carol singalong….with a flute & tabla as percussion instruments.

 A true Sheth Christmas.

My grandma was the queen of Christmas – raised by Scottish nannies in India under the British rule, she was a true Anglophile at heart. If it wasn’t for her caramel coloured skin, red bindi on her forehead and colourful sari’s – you could mistake her for Mrs Claus – short, stout and full of life.

Despite her religion being Jainism, she embraced Christmas in every way – she refused to take off her bon-bon party hat all night, would display all her christmas cards on string around her whole house and would who;le-heartedly attempt the high soprano notes in her rendition of ‘Silent Night’.

I truly miss her charasmatic presence at christmas. It really is not the same without her. Nevertheless, even though she is not here physically, her traditions continue…..yes, after this post I will be pasting the turkey with tandoori marinade. Delicious.

On a side note – my mother forced us to take pictures with Santa from birth until I was 21 years old. It started off being cute…but as we all hit our teen years and early adulthood… Santa seemed to be enjoying the photo experience a little ‘too much’ – Santa turned his sleaze on.

Below, I have rounded up some beautiful holiday season images, enjoy…
