<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She’s rarely on Facebook, but a chance log in brings up a close up shot of alu vadis posted by a friend from college days. She calls the friend to say how the picture reminded her of her dear Aai, who passed away two years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An excellent cook, her Aai made the tastiest alu vadis, which her family loved, and even froze them in batches when she went visiting her other children in different parts of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Could it be that it’s not the alu vadi she is missing, but the ritual of Aai making the vadis and her relishing the delicacy? Could she be regretting making light of Aai’s telling her to come and help so she learns how? And rueing taking Aai’s presence for granted?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She rushes to assure the commiserating friend that she’s not sad. She struggles to say she’s reliving the happy memory of her beloved Aai.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are three small alu leaves peeping from behind another plant sharing the pot, she tells her friend. Aai’s project, which bore leaf only now. And there’s that packet of “bhajani flour” that Aai got back from her last trip to India.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps a sign, thinks the friend. Why don’t you make some vadis? Let me send you the recipe with detailed instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And that’s a start.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The friend’s daughter listens intently, sensing a lesson there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Mum, I must learn how to make “polis” like you before you die or become too old and infirm to make them for me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And mother and daughter laugh heartily.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Natsukashii” is Japanese word similar to nostalgia, but without the pain. It is denotes a memory or emotion that allows one to relive happy memories of the past.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is there a word to denote a future painful event that is planned happily in the present?</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;">Method</span></b><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carefully wash the alu and dry using kitchen paper. Cut the stems close to the leaf. Flip each leaf over and slice off as much of the thick veins as possible without tearing the leaves. Then flatten each leaf with a rolling pin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a bowl add all the ingredients and make a paste quite like a cake batter. Adjust the flavours and tastes to your liking.<br /><br />On a work surface, lay the largest leaf of the bunch, deveined side up and coat the batter in a thin layer evenly on its surface. Place the next largest leaf on top of it again the deveined side up, this time ensure the broad base is placed on the narrow tip of the leaf underneath to cover the gap.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This laying of leaves in reducing size order and the alternating of leaves with narrow tip covering the broad base enables you to create a slightly even rectangular stack of leaves to roll together with a little more ease.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat the process, alternating the position of the leaves as above. I used three super sized leaves for each roll.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You could use a few more leaves, but remember that you should be able to roll the stack easily. Stacking too many leaves on top of each other may make it difficult to roll.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make sure that the paste covers the entire leaf, but coat sparsely and equally on all the leaves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Roll the entire stack firmly, not too tight and not too loose. You could even fold the edges of the long sides a little, like you do with spring rolls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seal the end with some batter and rest the roll with the end tucked underneath.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You’ll get two rolls out of the six large leaves. I have used extra large leaves, so the rolls were huge. Since I was going to steam them in the steam oven, I didn’t cut them in halves. You will need to cut the rolls to suit the size of the steamer you are going to use.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Steam the rolls in an oiled perforated steaming tray (or line the tray with baking parchment) for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a roll comes out clean. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I steamed them in my Bosch Steam Oven, but you can steam them in a stove top steamer as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cool the rolls completely. They will firm up as they cool down.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can even make them ahead and wrap them in cling film when cool and store them in the fridge for three or four days. These rolls even freeze very well for a couple of months at least. <br /><br />If you want to experiment with your guests at your next party, the rolls have a potential as killer hors d’oeuvres or canapés with different chutney toppings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These kaju katlis were made to celebrate my younger daughter’s birthday. This is one of the very few mithais she really enjoys. I make many types of burfis, but had never tried to make kaju katlis at home. </span></div>

little plant packed full of goodness. It contains more omega 3 fatty acids than
any other plant source. It also contains vitamins A, B, C and E as well as
calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. The pigments in the leaves and one in
the yellow blossoms have been proven anti-mutagenic or anti-carcinogenic. As a
mild diuretic, it is known to lower blood pressure as well. All this comes for
about 15 calories per 100 grams!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

common summer-growing plant on most continents. The ancient Persians and
Indians and even Indigenous Australians have used this wonder vegetable, in
salads or cooked as stir frys or bhajis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

recognised as an ancient and highly nutritious super food source and grown
specifically for food. I have tried to collect the seeds and grow the plants
from seed, but haven’t succeeded in the past. This summer, I have dug up shoots
and transplanted them in a pot, so we can have plenty of gholachi bhaji,
koshimbir and varan!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Time was when fresh green peas were only
available in winter and at exorbitant prices in South India. Frozen green peas
were a thing out of science fiction. In these antediluvian times, even a few kilos
of fresh green peas created a lot of excitement in a family, where our
foremothers were pioneers of the zero-waste, sustainable, waste-not-want-not
approach to everything that required the expenditure of any resource. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This said approach was invariably applied
to the said peas, which were divided into categories based on their quality. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The random prematurely plucked pea pods
were destined to go into Aai’s famous pea shell soup, which was another winter
must-have.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tender pea pods were reserved for the
privilege of “matar gashti” – literally guarding a field of green peas, and
figuratively having fun. There are fewer pleasures in life greater than
shelling tender peas and eating them. We were allowed all the tender ones, but
with a proviso. We kids had to string and break the shells into pieces for the
pea shell soup. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our interest rarely lasted beyond hastily
stringing the pods after the peas had been popped, knowing that Aai would
patiently pick the remaining shells that qualified for the soup. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bigger peas ones were used for cooking
– whether it was in a curry, a pulao or a masale bhaat and their shells didn’t
always land in the soup, if they were tough and fibrous. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aai’s pea shell soup was as mysterious as
the witches’ charmed soup in Macbeth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bhajani is a handy multi-grain flour made
with roasted grains and pulses. Sometimes, some of the grains are washed before
roasting. This pre-processing makes bhajani quick to cook and easier to digest.
The whole grains and pulses or lentils ensure plenty of fibre, which also gives
the finished products a great grainy texture.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are no fixed ingredients, but rice,
wheat, jowar, bajra, raagi and pulses like whole chickpeas, green or black gram,
or other lentils or various daals are commonly used. There are no fixed
proportions for the ingredients either, but a general rule of thumb is to use
more grains than pulses. Bhajani also includes roasted coriander and cumin
seeds, which give it a distinct flavour.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bhajani is used to make breads like
thalipeeth and dhapatey, or chakalis. It can be made into mokli bhajani, an
upma like dish that is very nutritious and easy to make. It can also be used to
stuff all sorts of vegetables like okra, capsicum, snake gourds, tomatoes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In a bowl, mix the chopped onion and sprinkle
some salt. Rub the salt into the onions to bring out the moisture. Add the bhajani flour and
besan, coriander and cumin powders, haldi and hing. Check and adjust the salt.
Add 1 tbsp oil and lightly mix it into a crumbly mixture. There’s no need to
add water, as the mixture will cook on the steam and firm up.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wash the capsicums and slice the tops off.
Remove all the seeds with a sharp knife. Rub a little oil onto each pepper from
the outside and stuff with the crumbly bhajani mixture.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Arrange the capsicums on their sides in a
heavy bottomed shallow pan and drizzle the rest of the oil on top. Place the
pan on the stovetop and cook covered on a very low flame. Turn the capsicums
once to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat when the capsicum skins are
roasted and the stuffing looks cooked. This should take about 10-15 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alternately, you could try baking the
stuffed capsicums in a hot oven for about 15 minutes or until they are done to
your liking. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can serve the capsicums warm or at room
temperature with any main meal or even as a starter or snack. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Besan laadus are loved by one and all – right
from our modest middle class Marathi homes, to the flamboyant filmy families –
yes, those made by “Maa with her own hands”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A large portion of the laadu mixture was
made into a rough ball shaped with both the hands cupping it, the heel of the
hand and the two middle fingers dexterously rotating in opposite directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This process was supervised by the
artistically curved fore and little fingers, who didn’t realise they were only
being kept on this post as they didn’t have a role to play in the real process<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With time and with our growing health
considerations to limit or eliminate sugar and fats from our diets, the size of
laadus is getting smaller and smaller. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And there is nothing more irritating than
watching a perfect laadu made with such love and care, being broken and scattered
and totally wasted.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The only way to do justice to a laadu is to
bite into it. Or better still - roll them with only one hand, I mean - smaller,
so you could pop a whole laadu into your mouth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the last few years since my daughters
have become vegan, I have started experimenting with alternate fats in the
making of sweets, especially the besan laadu. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having tried olive oil, vegan margarine, I
have now zeroed in on making these laadus in RBD Coconut oil, which is refined,
bleached, and deodorized coconut oil, for it mimics the properties of ghee or
toop, and there is absolutely no flavour or smell of coconut to this oil. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Microwaving besan and ghee/coconut oil is a
very quick process as the actual roasting is done in a few minutes – the only
issue with this is you need to microwave in short bursts and remove the bowl
and stir the besan thoroughly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another advantage is that you can also use significantly
less amounts of ghee or oil when you make roast the besan in a microwave, as it
the mixture does not need to be stirred all the time while roasting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">As a result of being low fat, the laadus
retain their shapes better and do not “sit” – a literal translation of Marathi

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can cut out or cut down cane sugar from
the laadu by using Splenda or sucralose in this laadu, as it can be mixed just
as you would mix the powdered sugar. You can make the laadus with only Splenda,
but it leaves an unpleasant aftertaste and lacks the full body that sugar
gives. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The microwaves cook the insides of the
besan mixture, so the besan actually gets roasted more than it shows form the
outside. Hence, it’s important to stir and mix thoroughly and making sure that
the temperature’s come down considerably before placing the bowl back into the
microwave. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

as the besan gets dehydrated and becomes more fluid. This is also when it
starts to ooze out the oil. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

never make a potful of varanphal without remembering this psalm. Not
only does the idea of “fruit” echo with this Marathi dish with such a quaint
name (varan as in a daal lentil soup and phal as in fruit), but it also resounds
with the same feeling of blessedness.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
psalm describes the blessedness of the virtuous, who enjoy the fruit of their
past labours in the present, and are also assured of their future welfare. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the same vein,
varanphal is made in my family usually when we are back after a long, hard day
at work when we need a hearty and wholesome meal quickly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
blessedness comes from the righteous feeling of having put in an honest day’s
work. It comes from the pleasure of tucking into a bowlful of hot varanphal
topped with some ghee toop or phodni when you are cold, hungry and tired. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
height of bliss is when you feel the warm, silky phals sliding effortlessly down
your throat and into your gut and lasts their whole evening, fortifying you for
the morrow when another hard day awaits you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

(Dal Dhokli or Chakoli)</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
This dish is comforting in more ways than one! It saves you the hassle of
making a full meal by incorporating dal, roti and subzi -all in one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />

cut pastas like macaroni. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Method</i></b><br /><br />In a large thick bottomed pot, heat the oil and add the mustard seeds to splutter. Add the onions and curry leaves and cook for a minute or so, then add the vegetables and the tomatoes a minute later.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let
the vegetables sauté for a few minutes and add the garam masala/sambar masala/goda
masala, hing, chilly powder. Mash the cooked dal and add it to this mixture and
add about 4 cups water. Let the dal boil for some time and add the salt,
lemon/tamarind juice and sugar/gur and let the dal simmer.<br />
<br />
Roll out a large chapati and cut it into 2 inch squares (or any bite size
shapes) with a knife or a fluted pastry cutter. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Drop
these pieces into the boiling dal, making sure they don’t stick to each other. This
daal needs to be fairly thin and watery, as the dough pieces are going to
thicken it. The varanphal also thickens on keeping.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mix
once, making sure the pieces do not stick to the bottom, and let the dal simmer
while you make the other chapattis in a similar manner and add the squares to
the boiling dal. Make sure each time you add the pieces of a chapati, you stir
the mixture to loosen any pieces sticking to the bottom.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once
all the dough is in, adjust the taste and water again. Let it simmer, covered
if the pot is large enough, till all the dough pieces are cooked well and float
onto the top. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Garnish
with coriander and grated coconut.<br />
<br />
Serve hot with ghee or some extra phodni, pickles and papad.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This also
tastes great the day after. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For long I have resisted the seven-cup vadis or burfis vadis for varying reasons. I have been put-off by the sheer quantities –imagine using up a whole cup of ghee and three whole cups of sugar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Or I have thought them to be too commonplace - a food bloggers’ fad like the Tangzhong water roux that every blogger worth their salt seems to have mastered. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes the vadis seemed gimmicky and less onerous - didn’t a classicist have to do it the right way, the hard way? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So despite having had occasional debacles with vadis / burfis over the years, I have not succumbed to the seven-cup magic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Speaking of debacles - these have ranged from episodes when a prematurely poured vadi mixture has resolutely refused set, to occasions when a zealously stirred aggregate has overstayed in the pan and crossed the crystal boundaries into a state of crumbly no return. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not that the family ever complains, for irrespective of whether the vadi mixture cloys to the tray, crumbles hopelessly or cubes correctly, it is sure to be polished off – scraped off the tray by a spatula, popped into the mouth as a perfect plaque or eaten out of a bowl with a spoon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For a while now, I have tried to rationalise my resistance – the vadi or burfi may not be extraordinarily rich – the cup measure is indicative. I can always use a very small cup. It’s also the usual ratio of 1: ¾ measure for a sweet to set. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHeJ4yjETaAz_TN_LD_3rYiiHDfAkUQJJwE3AbvlR8UMOmo9YkVoepDnfwagfzJjrWbrUeSOYMFWSGLop6nbLddOh3UqEz4PF4rdu1Yy8orTraZOJEPnKdGTB-uyntm778FFgaD6j680Y/s1600/7cupvadi1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHeJ4yjETaAz_TN_LD_3rYiiHDfAkUQJJwE3AbvlR8UMOmo9YkVoepDnfwagfzJjrWbrUeSOYMFWSGLop6nbLddOh3UqEz4PF4rdu1Yy8orTraZOJEPnKdGTB-uyntm778FFgaD6j680Y/s640/7cupvadi1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s not a gimmick – ultimately there is some skill involved in knowing just when to remove the mixture from the heat – and in the same token, if skill was involved then surely every blogger worth their salt must have been tempted to demonstrate their prowess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So convinced was I by my own reasoning, that I was just waiting for an opportunity to make these vadis, and this morning, an hour before we started for the airport to see off a “barat” or a groom’s party, I had this urge to make something sweet to mark the momentous occasion! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The seven-cup magic made the joyous occasion even sweeter – and I have been charmed for life by the vadi. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a vegan version. The refined coconut oil I use works exactly like ghee, and is absolutely aroma or flavour free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Ingredients</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 measure besan (chickpea flour)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 measure loosely packed grated fresh or frozen coconut mixed with 2 tablespoons almond meal</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 measure coconut milk (you can use dairy milk)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 measure refined coconut oil melted (you can use ghee) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3 measures sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 tsp crushed cardamom</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Method</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grease a thali or tray with some coconut oil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add the besan and a tablespoon of coconut oil and roast for a few minutes. Once the raw smell disappears, add half of the coconut oil and roast a little more, but don’t let the besan brown. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next add the coconut milk, sugar and the grated coconut and almond meal. Keep the pan on low heat and mix well and stir well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a few minutes, the mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Add the remaining coconut oil and the crushed cardamom to the mixture. Mix well and continue to stir until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan. Switch off the heat and continue to stir for a minute and then gather everything into the centre of the pan and tip it into the greased thali or tray. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This process should take about 25 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Spread the mixture in the thali or tray using a spatula. When cooled down sufficiently, score cuts into the mixture with a sharp knife. You can do squares or diamonds. When the mixture cools down completely, cut out the vadis or burfis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Store the vadis/ burfis in an airtight box.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Posting on the blog after a very long hiatus! Happy to be back here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My lunch today was this sheera with limbacha loncha, a childhood favourite of mine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I click this picture, cleverly dodging the dog who is going berserk sniffing and afterwards continue to sit alone at the table relishing the warm sheera. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently my daughters and I have talked about mindfulness and I want to practice mindfulness while eating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We hardly eat at the table, and never when alone. Eating without talking, reading, watching TV a unique experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I pay full attention to the food, how it looks, how it smells, the muscles one uses to raise it to the mouth, the texture and taste of the food, the juxtaposition of the sweet and the sour, savoury pickle, the signals the brain sends to the stomach and vice versa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s these very attributes of food that create memories and magic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can’t stay in the present for long. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Out of habit, I think of how blissful it was for kids to come home ravenous from school to the prospect of this kind of “madhlya velcha khaana”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is also this memory of Aai sitting by my side during childhood illnesses, and her soothing singing </span>-<br />
<br />
पडु आजारी, मौज हीच वाटे भारी<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was especially fond of the lines – </span><br />
<br />
मिळेल सांजा, साबुदाणा<br />
खडिसाखर, मनुका, बेदाणा<br />
संत्री, साखर, लिंबू आणा…<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another image that flashes in the eye of mind, is one perpetuated in popular Marathi literature– of a wife dutifully starting a cup of tea for her weary husband just before he came in from work – and, after taking away his “coat, topi and chatri”, proffering a steel tatlee or bashi of sheera served with a limb-lonancha to him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is a brief moment of sheepishness on remembering that I used to be fascinated by this image of the wife, before I actually became one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Back to the present, the sheera – the taste, texture, aroma, flavours…. the dog (and me) so covetous, the flashing images, the sweet memories, the entire experience seems so corpulent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am confused. This is not mindfulness - my mind harks back to the past.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I contain myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If focusing on one's awareness of the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations is not mindfulness, what is! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Banana Sheera</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The vegan version made with refined coconut oil and ripe banana was practically indistinguishable from its non-vegan counterpart, the Satyanarayanachya prasadacha sheera. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Ingredients</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2 cups coarse rava or semolina</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A pinch of salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">About 3 tbsps organic and refined coconut oil </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A handful of cashews, raisins and almonds </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One large or two small ripe bananas, peeled and roughly chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 ½ cups sugar (you could take more, but I like the sheera less sweet)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2 – 3 tbsp coconut cream (I used canned coconut cream)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">About 2 cups boiling water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 tsp crushed cardamom </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Method</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In a thick bottom pan melt some of the coconut oil and lightly fry the dry fruit and nuts. Remove onto a plate. Then add the rest of the oil and roast the rava or semolina till golden brown. Add a pinch of salt. When the roasting rava lets out a nice aroma, add the chopped bananas and roast well. Then add the coconut cream and roast for a few more seconds until it is absorbed into the rava. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At this stage the rava becomes very light and crumbly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then add the boiling water and mix well. Add a little more water if you want the sheera to be soft. Cover and cook for a few minutes. Then add the sugar and mix well. Add the fried dry fruit and nuts and the crushed cardamom. Cover again and let the mixture cook well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Serve hot or warm. And don't forget that lemon pickle or limbacha loncha. </span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Along with the faral and fatake and the
killa and kandil, Diwali for Marathi people was also about reading the Diwali
Ank - the festival special editions of reputed magazines as well as those of
the publications that mushroomed only at Diwali. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nothing gave us more pleasure than to relax
after the early morning faral - the heavy meal coming straight after a
pampering oil bath, and browsing through the Diwali magazines. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The little nip in the air, the lingering
heady perfume of that lovely utane, the jasmine oil and the beautiful gulab or
chandan Moti soap on our bodies, the strong scent of burnt firecrackers, the
mixed aromas of frying from homes around us, the balmy fragrance from the
jhendu flowers adorning our homes – if this wasn’t how heaven smelled, I wonder
how else! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other kids around me would run out to burst
more crackers or collect unspent ones and try and explode them or collect the
"stuff" from inside of them to make their own indigenous fatake. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But a nerdy yours truly would be happier
with the magazines - looking at the glossy ads for jewelry, reading recipes and
kids' special sections. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My aunt Anuradha Vaidya’s stories, long and
short used to be published in several magazines. Once a whole novel had been published
and I used to read her works, more out of pride that it was her work, than a
real understanding or appreciation of the largely grown up themes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Aai busy in the kitchen, this quiet
time allowed some indulgent foray into the world of grown ups. I also remember reading
a story about divorce, and being terrorised by the word “ghatasphot” and spent
many nights worrying if Aai-Baba would ever go down that path. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once I even attempted reading a short story
by G.A. Kulkarni, but beat a hasty retreat – why would anyone write/ publish/ read
horror stories during Diwali?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Occasionally, when Aai wasn't looking, a sneak
a peek into the double entendre, chavat window cutouts in Jatraa or Awaaz magazine
was well worth the risk taken. Also intriguing, especially since it was
forbidden, was celebrity gossip from Devyani Chaubal’s Chanderi Chewing Gum.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“ Babi SSSSS! Aey Babi SSSS! Aai’s ‘haak’
would interrupt my postprandial reverie. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Shejaari ha faral deun ye!” she would
remind me of my annual errand taking steel plates full of sweets and savouries,
covered by doilies to our neighbours. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sigh… time to go… but I would remember this
was equally exciting, so I really didn’t mind it … for another adventure in
terms of neighbours faral awaited. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And didn’t I lap up all the praise the
neighbours would heap on Aai’s innovative faral each year.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“
What new things has your sugran Aai made this year?” was a question most
anticipated; answered by me with equal excitement – for almost every Diwali Aai
would make something unusual, rare or different! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like these Shakun Undas that I made for
Shishir’s birthday this week – reconstructed from memory of the one time Aai
had made them and a bit of help from the Internet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

food processor or a kitchen mill (puran yantra). If the mixture is too loose,

on Kojagiri nights, as Baba used to be away for work. Aai chose to keep a low
profile social life, especially when it came to late night events. As a result,
our Kojagiri nights used to be quite tame, with Aai making the masala doodh and
we all peering into the silver “pela” to see the moon’s reflection in the milk.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think almost every
major city in the world has a restaurant called Blue Ginger. As it does a Red
Lobster. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always wondered why
red lobster – and since I have never cooked lobster, I had to wait for Google
to appear on the scene before I could see how poor crustacean was ‘red’. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That was one mystery
solved.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the same way, I
wonder about blue ginger. Have you ever seen this variety? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only time I have
seen something blue related to ginger is when ginger or garlic or ginger and
garlic pastes -that I so self-righteously make- turn blue-green and then I am
under great pressure to finish them up.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, is the ginger blue
only for the snob value? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is that why ginger
costs an eye-popping $30 a kilo in Australian supermarkets?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s ironic that this
rudimentary rhizome has such elitist appeal.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s hilarious to note
fancy shmancy dishes sporting a suffix ‘with a tinge/hint/touch/splash of
ginger’ – as pretentious as a hyphenated name…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ginger is meant to be
zinger, like the julienned ginger on dal makhni, or the subtle
undernote in Aai’s amla chutney or the not so subtle ginger bits in her green
chilli and lemon pickle. </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what good is the ‘alepak pohe’ and sugar cane
juice you get in Belgaum without ginger!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Working from home has
many benefits – such as fixing the husband and myself a plateful of cool alepak
pohe on a warm day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must mention that
this is my take on the ale pak pohe – combining the elements of my
mother-in-law’s famous ‘lavlele pohe’ and the gingery spice balls that come
with the original alepak pohe. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And of course, the
overdose bit is not a joke. I actually saw this phrase being used to describe a
dish, of which, ginger was but an ingredient! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

don’t let them burn. Generally, the time it takes for the seeds to splutter
will coincide with the time it takes to fry the peanuts – but that can change
rapidly and give you a horrible heart-burning mess! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, assuming your

discovered the chemistry of cucumber in khichadi, she was a 16-year-old girl with

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her parents had given her the wings, but didn’t dare let her fly - tangled in a twister of their own progressive beliefs, awareness of her creative compulsion and peer pressure and material concerns of providing for their brood.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sitting in the mail bogie of the narrow gauge Barshi Light Railway with a family elder assigned to take her to the big city to have her “shown” or “seen”, she looked around her, animatedly taking in all sights, sounds and smells. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She had passed the matric examination and had submitted specimens of her work to the J.J.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A hunch on the part of the uncle to first check out the prospective groom proved right. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As he returned to their host’s home where they were staying for the night, he was greeted by the sight of her heartily tucking into a sabudana khichadi with cucumbers, instead of the customary potatoes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was the host who asked the uncle about the outcome of the visit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking at the beautiful child-woman relishing the succulent sago pearls flavoured innocently yet exotically with the dewy green cucumbers, the uncle couldn’t bring himself elaborate much.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Oh, we won’t be seeing that boy – he looks like a monkey”, was all he thought was enough by way of an explanation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The proposal fizzled out with the laughter.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pick and wash the sabudana with plenty of water and drain completely. Keep covered for at least 3-4 hours. Overnight is the best. The sabudana absorbs the moisture and swells. Test a pearl by rolling it between your thumb and index finger. It should be soft, non-sticky and pliable. If it isn’t, sprinkle some more water and keep covered for some more time. I usually rehydrate the drained sabudana at least twice by sprinkling water and raking the caked moist sabudana with a fork. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you are satisfied that the pearls are separate, soft and pliable, add the ground peanuts, salt, sugar and salt and mix well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the oil and add the cumin seeds to splutter. Add the chopped green chillies and the diced cucumber and sauté lightly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add the prepared sabudana mixture and mix thoroughly. Cook covered for a few minutes. Mix again and add the lemon juice, grated coconut. Add more salt if required. The sabudana will turn translucent when cooked and let out white steam. Stir gently to avoid lumping.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Serve garnished with the coriander. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ventured out on this recent holiday to
Europe and the US with apprehension about the food scene. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During my previous trips to the US, both
the times accompanied by young kids and an elderly parent, it hadn’t been easy
to find vegetarian food. Certainly not the kind of one would indulgently eat
while on a holiday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My daughters’ holiday in NYC two years ago
had been a pizza pilgrimage and they had come up with their definitive list of
the best vegetarian pizza and pie places around the Hudson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then they both embraced veganism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hence my fears, that </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this time as well we</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> could be glancing at menu cards
full of meat and more meat, finally settling for an unfinishable cups of lukewarm
coffee or undrinkable tea to wash down cloyingly sweet Krispy Kreme doughnuts or greasy croissants.

healthy and tasty eating, wholesome and organic food that was mostly
accessible, fairly affordable and imminently edible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mainstream stores like Pret A Manger and

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Pithla Company”
is a good-natured racial slur, almost like an in-joke we have to denote Marathi
speaking people, including ourselves. It does seem like it, but it’s really not
meant to be derogatory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How could it be
offensive, for pithla with bhaat or bhakri is one of the most comforting and satisfying foods
one can ever think of? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a quick and
easy dish that is made when one is in a hurry or needs a palate cleanser after a
series of feasts. It's equally an apt "shramaparihar" after a tiring wedding function, as an offering by</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> one's neighbours in commiseration when there’s a death in
the family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">My daughter and I have been travelling in Europe and the US, soaking in the
culture of the cities and countries- it has been all about museums, monuments and mementos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Just as i</span>t has been about Shakespeare and Wordsworth,
Victor Hugo and Walt Whitman. And it also has been about Pharaohs and mummies and the
Gothic and the</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">Baroque.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But as true foodophiles,
it has been significantly about local cuisines, what is grown, how it is cooked and presented,
what people eat and why and finally, what we could eat as vegetarian and vegan “Pithla Company”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have made it a
point to visit local grocers, wholefood stores, farmers’ markets and even local
desi or Asian groceries like Shah & Cie where we met Mr. and Mrs. Shah who
had moved from Madagascar to Paris 40 years ago. Then there was Le Marché Sacré
Coeur up the street up the street from the hotel, which has large bowls full of
brined olives and vegetables of all description, size and colour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There have been the sporadic, short-lived
dalliances with Indian restaurants. We have had some memorable meals such as
last night’s masala dosa at Sarvanna Bhavan in Manhattan; the dal soup and veg
biryani at Ravishankar Bhel Puri Centre near London’s Euston Station; the
crispy bhindi at "Dhishoom, the Bombay style Irani café in Covent Garden
in London and the Lebanese platter near the Louvre in Paris. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But often we have
paid more for the familiar comforting sights and aromas of Indian food, than
for any real satisfaction of a great meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This morning we moved into a serviced studio apartment in Brooklyn that is going to be my daughter’s home for the next month when I head back home in a week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three important discoveries we made this morning:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• there are many cute semi-feral (/sɛmaɪ/, please – we’re in the US) cats living </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> off the dumpster in the basement of the building </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• there is a community-owned natural food store nearby </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• and that there is a Laundromat four doors away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More about the cats and conveniences later, but here is a list of things we bought among many others:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Basmati Rice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Garbanzo bean flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Veggies, coriander and curry leaves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Sunflower oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Spices – cumin, mustard et al</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Some peanut butter that you can freshly crush in the coop stores</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Some desiccated coconut</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The menu is a no-brainer - at least for the "Pithla Company". </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pithla – bhaat, cabbage chi koshimbir - made very authentic with the addition of the crunchy, freshly crushed peanut butter and Batatyachi D-chi bhaji (named so by a child in the family as the quartered slices look like the alphabet D).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The meal is ready in not time, despite our fastidious thorough cleaning of the kitchen and pots and pans – for we don’t know what previous guests have cooked in it, on it, with it…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Adequately pre-admonished by my daughter to keep the photo session short, we took some quick clicks for the blog and tuck into the best belch-inducing meal of the tour so far.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can take “Pithla Company” out of Maharashtra and/ or India, but you can’t take the pithla out of the “Pithla Company”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hearty “dhekar” or burp of satisfaction will vouch for that.</span><br />

large pan and add mustard to splutter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for a
while. Add the haldi and red chilli powder and sauté further. Then add water
and bring it to a boil. Then gradually sprinkle the besan, a little at a time,
and keep mixing continuously to avoid very large lumps from forming. Small
lumps are ok, in fact the pithla tastes better with some small lumps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the desiccated coconut and cumin powder and stir lightly. Cover and cook for a short while

it too thick, the pithla will start to spit and scald you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 tbsp marmalade +2 tbsp warm water for glazing</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Method</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pour warm coconut milk in a mixing bowl, add oil and stir to melt. Add sugar, pumpkin puree, salt to the milk and combine well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a small bowl take half a cup lukewarm water and add a teaspoon of sugar. Mix well. Bloom the yeast in this solution by sprinkling it on the water and covering the bowl. When it gets foamy add the yeast to the pumpkin mixture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add in flour gradually and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. The dough will be sticky.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If using electric mixer, attach a dough hook and beat the mixture until the dough itself pulls from the side of the bowl.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn the dough out to a wooden board dusted with a little flour. Knead with hand for 1 minute. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Form the dough into a ball shape, place in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, for about 1 hr.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Punch the dough to deflate and knead it for a minute or two on a wooden board. Cut the dough into equal size portions– the size of golf balls and roll into balls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Place the balls about 3- 4 cms apart, in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover the tray with cling film and let them rise again in a warm spot to be doubled, about 45 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was very tired last night, so when I reached this stage, I decided to put away the cling film lined tray in the fridge. This morning I took the buns out and let them prove for an hour or so before baking them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a result the buns did not form perfect round tops, as some of the leavening was lost while the dough was in the fridge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, the buns only look like blocks – they are actually very light and spongy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preheat oven 170 degrees for at least 10 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mix 3 tbsp of plain flour with enough water, a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to make a thick paste. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Brush the tops with some soymilk and then pipe the white crosses across each bun with the thick paste using a piping bag or a zip lock bag with a little hole cut into it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bake for 12 -15 minutes until the top gets slightly golden.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mix the orange marmalade and water in a bowl and heat it for a few seconds in the microwave. Brush the rolls with glaze to give it a shine. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cool a little and serve warm with some vegan butter and vegan nutella. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tilgul is a generic
word in Marathi for all sweets made out of sesame and jaggery or even sugar in
the Sankranti season. Like with Diwali “faral” that was sent over to all friends
and neighbours, til-gul or TG for the purposes of this piece, was distributed
very generously and far and wide. Accompanying these offerings was of course,
the statutory sweet reminders to be kind and peaceful towards one and all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One remembers TG arriving
in envelopes bursting at the corners with candied til called “halwa” and little
packets of haldi and kunkum.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even stingy relatives
who would only ever spend money on a 10 paise postcard to convey the gravest of
news that could be private or potentially controversial, would splurge and send
those 50 paise envelopes bursting with halwa<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why, long before
greeting card companies took over the festival market, local producers of
greeting cards made Sankranti greetings with syrupy messages and convenient
little envelopes to hold the TG. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is another matter
that cheeky posties pilfered this candy by making holes in the envelopes. I
suppose no one had the heart to grudge them the self-help. After all, one was
supposed to spread kindness and cheer, remember.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was in the spirit of
this very same tradition that a range of TG was made in most households. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was the “tinsel
til” type of flamboyant and colourful halwa mentioned earlier, which was a more
modern form of TG. The flashy halwa was most suitable for being distributed
delicately out of a silver bowl with a silver spoon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A handy token to give
out during haldi-kumkum ceremonies, the “tinpot” tilachi vadi or burfi had
illusions of greatness, but was at best only second-class.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The crunchy kadak whole
sesame and gur/sugar laadu and the brittle sesame crisp chikki were good kiddy
stuff and good fillers for the loot bags for kids during a “bor-nahan”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ‘bor-nahan’, quite
literally a jujube-shower for kids under the age of five, celebrated the
mother’s indulgence in her child in this time of post-harvest season rest,
relaxation and richness. Mums prettified their bubs in trinkets made of sugar
and til candy and showered them with a confetti of goodies like jujubes (ber),
puffed rice, kadak tilgul crisps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other
kids at the bash playfully plundered the confetti amidst laughter and fun.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surely one didn’t take
such toy TG seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The grave gulachi poli
was main-course class, reserved largely for the inner circles and adults. It
wasn’t in the mithai category. Moreover, a wheaten crust and the occasional besan
additives adulterated the TG element of the gulachipoli.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Revadis and gajaks
were exotic shop-bought stuff that only “North Indians” ate. Although these
were indulged in at other times, no self-respecting middle class Marathi
Brahmin household would think of substituting their “sweat of the brow” home
made TG with such til trifles during Sankranti.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The top gun of TG was undoubtedly
the til-gulacha laadu - my most favourite. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hand-pounded creamy
sesame, coconut, peanuts and roasted gram, blessed with some ghee and
graciously rounded off by sweet jaggery… very few sweets can match the earthy,
wholesome goodness of this til and gul laadu, with more than a hint of cardamom
and nutmeg! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been away from home for nearly two weeks, and my husband who has had to subsist on cereal for this time says, “Can you roast some no-roast upma for breakfast?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I roast the upma, how will it still be no-roast?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That, ladies and gentlemen is my quiz for you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>No-roast upma</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Ingredients</i></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1½ tbsp oil </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">¾ tsp mustard seeds </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tsp urad dal </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few curry leaves </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup medium coarse rava /semolina</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 medium onion, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 green chilli, chopped (or more)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">½ tsp fresh minced ginger </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2-3 cups boiling water </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tsp ghee (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Salt to taste </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A large pinch of sugar (optional- but keep an open mind about this!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chopped coriander and desiccated/fresh grated coconut to garnish.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhseMbrwkkYz3x003v4mwVrb9tUvmLi9Jseyt4zZ3MAmh2hPm68YpQzP9dlCzBo3ZG19am-pfpd-rdn684iwhAanU9a48dT3S41rFYrg4B7DMUWfKQ0TJn1jecb2yx5Zpk0cwDDLHgYA/s1600/whiteupma3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhseMbrwkkYz3x003v4mwVrb9tUvmLi9Jseyt4zZ3MAmh2hPm68YpQzP9dlCzBo3ZG19am-pfpd-rdn684iwhAanU9a48dT3S41rFYrg4B7DMUWfKQ0TJn1jecb2yx5Zpk0cwDDLHgYA/s1600/whiteupma3.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Method</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heat oil and add mustard seeds to splutter. Then add urad dal and curry leaves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the dal turns golden brown, add the green chilli, chopped onions and crushed ginger and sauté until the onions are translucent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add the rava and mix well till it is covered with the sautéed mixture. This will lightly toast the rava without browning. At this stage add the ghee, if using.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then add about 2 cups of boiling water and quickly mix the rava so as not to form lumps. Add some more water if required. Add the salt and sugar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, as the mixture starts to thicken, cover the pan and cook on low flame till the rava absorbs all the water. Stir it once or twice to fluff up the rava. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cook till the rava lets out a white steam. This is a sign of doneness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Serve garnished with coconut and coriander. Sometimes I prefer desiccated coconut to fresh, as it gives a really nutty flavour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is customary to serve it with coconut chutney, sambar or even sugar on the side.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My post today is about when it rained
watermelons when Santa brought the Edgar’s Mission residents 300kg of
watermelon for Christmas!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Edgar’s Mission is a not for profit Farm
Sanctuary that seeks to create a humane and just world for humans and
non-humans. Named after Edgar Alan Pig, the founder Pam Ahern’s first rescued
pig, the farm is set on 153 peaceable acres nestled in the tranquility of the
Macedon Ranges in Victoria. The farm sanctuary currently provides life-long
love and care to over 300 rescued animals.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Millions of farmed animals daily endure
lives of abject misery in factory farms in Australia. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barely able to move, they endure acts of
cruelty that would be illegal if they were your cat or dog. Imagine a life
without sunshine, without freedom, without being able to socialize, without
hope … that’s the ‘life’ of a factory-farmed animal.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How has this happened? As custodians of
this planet, we have designated some animals friends and some animals food. Yet
they are no different. All share the same ability to suffer; the same need and
desire to experience life, for it to have joy, meaning and purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
