Christmas Sweetened !

A small kid is angry with mom for some reason and he is sitting outside on a bench in a huff with a bag with the intention of going away. Grandfather comes and sits besides him and asks him,’Are you still angry with Mommy ?” The kid with puffed cheeks nods his head. Grandfather whispers,” But Mom is making hot Jalebis,I suppose we will eat that as you are going” Immediately the kid’s face lights up and he exclaims,”Jalebi !!” The next moment it is seen that Jalebis are being fried in oil and with nice background music the Grandfather and the kid are shown to return and the kid happily munching on Jalebis. 🙂

 This was no story but a TV commercial ! And it was about a certain brand of cooking oil. The ad did create a cute and happy feeling and increase the sales. As I was a kid then,my entire attention was on two things, those hot Jalebis and the tag line so that we kids could sing it( Dhaara Dhaara…Shuddh Dhaara !) 😀 . Sadly,mom was not influenced enough to make this advertisement an immediate reality !

 Since,it’s Christmas and last few days I have been looking at the Christmas recipes by fellow bloggers with ravenous look,I couldn’t just sit with mouth drooling every time. So,this Sunday, I relived my childhood by trying this for second time ( 1st trial was 2 years back and it’s better left unspoken !) Mom did made this few times as I got older,so I did remember the process vaguely and big thanks to internet(recipe).

The results were much much better this time 🙂 Beware,if anyone wishes to make it ,throw out the health book for a day ! And toughest part is making the swirls,so don’t worry if you get stars or world map instead, in the end taste rules !

So,here’s a Merry Christmas to everyone with tons of sweetness and cheer ! 😀
