Padma Lakshmi is sharing how she sweetens the holidays.

The โ€œTop Chefโ€ alum, 54, revealed the ingredients she uses to create a magical time with her 14-year-old daughter Krishna, over Christmas.

โ€œBeing in my pajamas and building ginger bread houses,โ€ Lakshmi exclusively told The Post at Vulture Fest. โ€œDecorating the tree and making cider.โ€

The model shares Krishna with ex Adam Dell and has been vocal in the past about motherhood and the close bond she has with her mini-me.

โ€œI took her off of social media, and I have controls on her phone,โ€ Lakshmi confessed to Today in May, adding that sheโ€™s sure Krishna scrolls online on other peopleโ€™s phones.

โ€œIt is hard, as any parent will tell you, to combat all of the influential forces that prey upon a childโ€™s mind, whether you are male or female,โ€ admitted the food connoisseur. โ€œItโ€™s worse for girls, of course, but I try to combat that.โ€

Reflecting on her career, Lakshmi recognizes it could come with challenges for her only child.

โ€œShe also has a mother that does fittings, and tries to fit into Emmy dresses. She also has a mother whoโ€™s inย Sports Illustrated,โ€ she continued. โ€œThatโ€™s not easy for her. And Iโ€™m very cognizant of that.โ€

Lakshmi said she tries to separate Krishna from that world.

โ€œI have kept her as away from this as I can. Because thereโ€™ll be time for her to have it,โ€ she noted. โ€œBut I need her to focus on her education, on her talent, on her skills as a musician or whatever she wants to do with her own life.โ€

Lakshmi echoed her own sentiments while talking to People earlier that month.

โ€œIโ€™m strict about some things and Iโ€™m not that strict about other things that I probably should be stricter about like bedtime [as] sheโ€™s 14,โ€ she explained to the outlet.

โ€œBut I was very strict was about making sure she ate a very good diet the first four, five years of her life, and I will not abide by her being disrespectful to adults,โ€ the TV star continued. โ€œSheโ€™s not [disrespectful], but thatโ€™s where our Asian culture shows itself is in things like that โ€” respecting our traditions like taking your shoes off before you come in the house, and calling elders uncle and auntie.โ€

Lakshmi had an on- and off-again relationship with Dell from 2009 to 2021. She kept the paternity private at first, but found theย media speculation around who the father was โ€œmortifying.โ€

โ€œIt certainly was icky when the press started snooping around in various countries โ€” not just America, but in India, England, Australia,โ€ she recalled on Peopleโ€™sย โ€œMe Becoming Momโ€ย podcastย back in 2021.

These days, the mother-daughter duo are tighter than ever, with Lakshmi wishing her daughter a happy birthday in a touching tribute.

โ€œMy dear sweet girl! I canโ€™t believe itโ€™s been 13 years since I gave birth,โ€ย she wrote in part on Instagramย in 2023, alongside a video montage of the pair. โ€œWilling yourself into this world, youโ€™ve been the greatest joy of my life. Of course I love you with all my heart but I also really like you! You have a wicked sense of humor. Thereโ€™s no one Iโ€™d rather spend time with, no one Iโ€™d rather laugh with or cry with.โ€

Lakshmi concluded the sweet post, โ€œLight of my life, you keep me grounded and sane and never let me take myself too seriously. Happy 13th birthday to my favorite teenager!!โ€
