Matar ki Tahari

Matar ki Tahari

This recipe also comes from my Sasural’s Khana Khazana!! In Uttar Pradesh, it’s a winter delicacy and specially prepared on the auspicious occassion of “Makar Sankranthi”.It’s a Harvest Festival! People consider Urad dal is “Shubh”. On Sankranthi early morning , a vessel containing mixture of Urad dal and rice is kept in Poorab disha( Rising Sun direction )and every family member touches it before starting their day. Hence this Tahari also contains lentils like Urad and Chana dal along with Matar.

Bakheer/ Gud-Chawal ki kheer/ Jaggery Rice Pudding

July 2, 2015 by Pranay Singh 3 Comments

Bakheer Gud-chawal ki kheer

I was born in Mumbai and grew up in the city. I ended up romanticizing the city for anything and everything that it had to offer me. My parents however would often miss their rural roots. They would narrate me and my sister several funny anecdotes of the village where they were born, they grew up, where they shared laughs and grief with their cousins and uncles and aunts, and which they left with heavy heart for the city of Mumbai in search of better opportunities. I still remember, though not as clearly, but my memory still is fresh in parts, my first trip through the dusty bylanes on an open jeep leading to my ancestral home in a small village in Uttar Pradesh.
