(Jewish Group) 4 Hanukkah recipes from across Asia that meld local cultures with Diaspora traditions

1. Those Brod Goreng donuts are appealing

Easy recipe, and not full of spice.

The other recipes look interesting, and I love Indian and Asian food, but as an American Ashkenazi Jew I tend to prefer foods I grew up with on the holidays.

For Chanukkah we didn't do jelly donuts, but latkes were abundant, usually with apple sauce and sour cream. My mom made the best latkes!
My dad liked borscht, and it was usually served on most holidays. He'd pour 1/2 jar in blender, add ice and sour cream, and it became a pink, frothy, semi-sweet drink, which I still enjoy. Drinking borscht and eating latkes is a good Chanukkah memory.

Maybe I'll try to make those donuts later in the week. I have other cooking to do for the holiday, for a pot luck supper and first night celebration on Sunday.

Thanks for sharing this interesting article.
