Today has just been one of those days. While I came home to a lovely surprise, I just needed to forget about work and what better way to distract myself than to do something that requires my attention – bake! And given that this month is about all things hygge and orange goes so well…

Chicken Briyani – South Indian
Deepavali/Diwali was always a day I looked forward to as a kid.
