It&rsquo;s the season to be merry. Staying true to the spirit of Xmas, a festival that is all about spreading warmth, Vedge, a Lokhandwala-based restaurant, turned Santa Claus for children from Angel Express, a non-government organisation that works for underprivileged kids.

Last week, they invited five children from the NGO and gave them the reigns to create a menu for the festive season. The menu is available from today till December 25. After a brainstorming session with Chef Sumit Ghadiyali, the kids came up with dishes such as Kartiki&rsquo;s Veggie Delight Pizza, Savitra&rsquo;s Brownie, Cream and Chocolate Sauce Tower, Rohit&rsquo;s Chole Puri, Vivek&rsquo;s Pani Puri Shots and Jyoti&rsquo;s Cheese Pav Bhaji.
&ldquo;I love pizzas as much as mathematics. For my veggie delight pizza, I chose from a variety of ingredients and topped the dish with babycorn, capsicum and loads of cheese,&rdquo; says 12-year-old Kartiki Jambhulkar.

Ten-year-old Vivek Dubey, who helped create pani puri shots, loves street food. &ldquo;I told the chef that a menu without pani puri is incomplete. So he showed me how to use a glass to serve it,&rdquo; says Dubey.
During the interaction, the children discussed their career dreams. While one wanted to be a policewoman, another wanted to be an actor.
&ldquo;We will donate the proceeds we earn from this particular menu for their careers. We will also ask patrons to make donations in the form of small goodies, toys and clothes,&rdquo; says Aditya Sawant, owner of Vedge.
