Years back, when we shifted to a new flat and I was helping my daughter to unpack her things. We heard a door bell. I didn't know that this would be start of a wonderful friendship. When I opened the door I saw a cute looking girl (Sukanya, that's her name) .She asked if she could play with my daughter and from that day onwards they became friends. Eventually her mother, Kiran and I became good friends. Our houses were only a wall apart.
We met daily in between our chores for a "Coffee with Kiran” session .We talked about anything and everything. Shared our new dishes and recipes and all the events of our daily lives . The following is a cake recipe, which I got from her. I just added a crunchy top to it.
