All the glorious, delicious comfort foods. Along with this, the holiday season also brings with it time together with loved ones.

I love waking up on Christmas morning and putting together a big, wholesome brunch for the family while the kids go crazy ripping open presents from under the tree. There’s usually a bunch of us to feed, and as much as I love to cook for a crowd, I enjoy watching the excited expressions on everyone’s faces more. Which is why in times like these I always rely on the large carton of eggs that I always have sitting in my fridge – Masala Egg Burji being a family favourite!
