Chicken roast with caramelized onions

I am writing this post from half way around the world in Mumbai, India. Its 3 am here and my little one and I are walking around like zombies when everybody else is asleep. Yeah, terribly jet lagged and can’t wait to sleep during normal hours.

If you have been a regular visitor of my blog you might have noticed that last couple of weeks I haven’t been posting regularly. I had also mentioned how terribly busy I am. The shopping and travel planning kept me so busy that I am going to dread shopping for a while 🙂
