These carrots reminded me of Mom and I missed her very much. She loved carrots. So did I – but I hate them cooked…unless they’re part of another dish. I prefer them raw, a la Karamchand…but she just loved carrots anyhow.

Vidur used to love them as a child – now for over a year he hasn’t been able to eat crunchy stuff thanks to those braces. But now that they’ve come off, he’ll start enjoying them again.
Avial – reminds me of Tanu – and those wonderful days we would have lunch together at home with avial – vetha kozhambu – vendekka curry. And lots of ghee. And lots of coffee. And lots of eardrum splitting music. And a very very very tolerant Mom. 🙂
