A popular Bun Tikki cart in Dehradun (Indra Road, Dwara store). I am told this is a roughly 40-year-old shop, and everyone loves them. People queue up to enjoy this deliciousness. What makes them unique are the crispy potato tikki with Chana Dal, the tangy chutney, and the homemade seasoning spice (chat masala). Dishes like this usually make me wonder about how our streets have practically identical offerings of food. A combination of bun and potato can be called Vada Pav, Bread Pakoda, Bread Fry, Sandwich, and the list goes on. Two simple "non-Indian" products rule our street food. What do you think? #FoodandStreets #Dehradun #Bun #potato #fried #Streetfood #StreetStories #Crispy #EatLocal #City_features #chutney #uttarakhand
Through winding galiyan and overtly expressive chowk's embrace, In every mohalla’s chapar, chajja and storied space, Where secret whispers curl and thread, I wander, seeking chai and tales that cities wed. Each nook is a sonnet, where every stone sings, In love with the dastaan only such banjarapan brings.

Ceramics, Khurchan, and Kanji vade are just a few of Khurja's popular crafts. Since kanji is usually found in Rajasthan, seeing it in Khurja is always interesting. In Khurja, you get dahi phulki with various spices, sweet and tangy chutney with curd, and a separate glass of Kanji. They claim it aids digestion, but I have no proof. I can surely talk about the flavor. You get the earthy and funny flavor from hing and black salt, along with the pungency of mustard and chili. I don't think one can give one flavor or spice more value than the other. Also, keep in mind that you're in Uttar Pradesh; the Kanji Pani you'd get in Rajasthan tastes very different. There is a localized version in each state. Thus, savor the tastes without making comparisons. #FoodandStreets #Khurja #Water #Tangy #Spicy #Kanji #Refreshing #RefreshingDrink #Explorepage #Uttarpradesh #Beverage #Spice
Sharing the stage with Guru Ji, Pant Sahab is an exhilarating experience every time. His breadth of knowledge, exceptional memory, and culinary anecdotes are second to none. You ought to consider yourself fortunate if you were to acquire even one percent of his wealth. This past week, I participated in a panel discussion at Manav Rachna University on the topic of Indian cuisine's potential future. #FoodandStreets #PushpeshPant #Food #Panel #Conversation #Discussion #University #IndianFood #Cusine
Yesterday at a panel discussion, @chefgunjangoela talked about Purani Dilli. As an example, she mentioned that samosas and kachoris, which are now available all day, used to be available only between four and six in the evening thirty to forty years ago. However, now you can find the same dishes anytime of the day. While it increases accessibility, the novelty of the dishes has diminished. Kachori is such a staple food now that you can find it early in the morning or in the evening. 3rd 📸: @mycookingcanvas | Bhubaneswar #FoodandStreets #Kachori #Snack #Streetfood #Food #Delhi #DelhiFood #StreetStories #FoodStories #PuraniDilli #Dilli #Fried #Local #Crispy #Breakfast #Evening
Any self-respecting Desi or home cook worth their salt will have the kadahi, cooker, and tawa on hand. Just like a well-stocked pantry with daal, kadahi is a need. Do it all with just one pot. All your deep-frying, slow cooking or quick-cooking needs are met with kadahi. In addition to maintaining a consistent internal temperature, the kadahi's bigger opening facilitates regular air movement. Even though it is a mystical pot, kadahi is typically treated with such casualness. Because you will scorch your food in an instant with a really hot kadahi and miss out on the perfect flavor with a cold one, you should probably figure out how to control fire. Midway through is where the flavor is. A simple kadahi has always been the first item purchased upon relocating, whether it be to a new home or a different country. Unassuming kadahis have witnessed it all, from the Bhakti Prahlad narrative in Hindu mythology to its contemporary application. #FoodandStreets #Puri #Poori #Breakfast #Kadahi #Kadai #Fry #Food #Sunday #Ludhiana #Punjab #Streetfood #Fresh #Vegetarian

In Ranchi, two legendary litti makers stand out: Mohd Qayyum of Dhamal Litti and Bhola of Bhola Litti. Though many others ply their trade, these two establishments have catered to the crème de la crème of food connoisseurs. What sets their littis apart is not just the skill with which they're made, the stuffing but the generous use of desi ghee making each litti extraordinarily soft and flavorful. Paired with chokha, tangy tomato chutney, pickled chilies, and fresh-cut onions, it's a feast rich and poor. You'll find one by the Church Complex on the main road and the other in Doranda, each offering these ghee-soaked delights for just 80-90 rupees. While the regular dry versions are tasty, the ghee-laden ones are truly legendary. Perhaps the most charming aspect of these eateries is the warmth with which they serve you, reminiscent of a meal at home, served by loving hands. #FoodandStreets #CurryUp #Jharkhand #Bihar #Litti #Ranchi #food #foodlover #foodstagram #localartist #localbrand #instafood #supportlocalbusiness #intags #streetfoodmarket #localeats #vocalforlocal #localfood #jharkhand #jharkhand_insta #streetfoodstories #supportlocal #streetfoodindia #streetfoods

Embarking on a culinary adventure in Sixmile, Guwahati, I savoured a veg roll from the street vendors priced at just ₹40. The flavours were a delightful surprise a burst of yumminess in every bite. Sometimes, the best finds are in the unassuming corners of our city. Affordable and delicious, this street treat was a pocket-friendly joy that left my taste buds smiling.

𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗞𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿 | 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺? Rice pudding, loved globally, has many names— Kheer, payesh, phirini, payasam, gil-e-firdaus, muhalabia, arroz con leche, riz bi haleeb, milchreis. It's a sweet mix of milk, sugar, and rice with rich stories. India loved it since 6000 BCE, calling it "ksheer" or "kshirika" in epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Mughals added a royal touch, naming it "firni" or "phirni." Middle Eastern rice puddings, "sheer berinj," were once food for angels. This dish's timeless charm connects hearts and cultures. China's rice pudding tale dates to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1047 BC). Pioneers of rice cultivation, they crafted the 'eight treasure' or 'eight jeweled' rice porridge. As typical in Chinese cuisine, there's a fascinating story woven into each dish. #FoodandStreets #RicePuddingChronicles #CulinaryHeritage #GlobalDesserts #SweetStories #FoodHistoryJourney #DeliciousTraditions #TalesOfFlavor #CulturalSweets #sweettooth #kheerlover #ricekheer #desserts #sweets #kheer #dessertsofinstagram #sweet #sweettreats #rice #pudding #kheerpuri #chawalkikheer #Mughal #china #India #Pakistan #Diaspora #Almond #Sugar
Indulge in the unique flavors of #BihariCuisine with a twist on the classic Banarsi Chura Mutter. While its Banarsi cousin opts for a softer approach with milk-soaked poha, the Bihari version elevates the dish by roasting the poha in oil, infusing it with a tantalizing, kripsy crunch. The result? A culinary masterpiece that dances on your palate. Each bite of our Bihari Chura Mutter is a symphony of textures and flavors. Imagine tender, perfectly cooked mutter (peas) that retain their gentle firmness, seasoned with a light blend of basic spices like chili, coriander, cumin and hing that complement without overpowering. These peas harmonize beautifully with the crunchy, golden-roasted chura (flattened rice). #FoodandStreets #Bihar #CulinaryAdventures #Peas #Poha #FlattenedRice #BiharSeHai #healthyfood #foodie #breakfasttime #breakfastideas #instafood #intags #food #veganbreakfast #biharifood #thebreakfastclub #foodstagram #freshfood #foodgasm #refreshing
Discover the golden splendor of Saffron! 🌼✨ Originating from the Persian word "zarparān," this treasured spice, often termed as "red gold," has a legacy as vibrant as its color. "Zar" signifies gold and "par" denotes flower, highlighting the priceless essence of saffron's flower - a true testament to its worth. Its radiant golden hue is more than just captivating; it's a glimpse into a rich history dating back to the Aegean Bronze Age, around 1700-1500 BCE. 🏺🎨 Saffron's journey is painted across the frescoes and ceramics of the ancient Minoan civilization, where it was celebrated in art and rituals. Fast forward to the aromatic valleys of Kashmir, where legends speak of Persian travelers in 500 BC or revered Sufi saints in the 12th century introducing this luxurious spice. Whichever tale you believe, saffron's enchanting allure remains unchanged. Perfect for foodies, history buffs, and culture enthusiasts alike, saffron is not just a spice but a bridge to the past. Add a pinch of history to your cuisine and stories to your meals with saffron. Saffron is planted in late summer and then harvested by hand from late October to early November.

Cooking up a storm at #WorldFoodIndia2023 with @chefbhasin was a culinary delight! At Pragati Maidan, Delhi, on a sunny Sunday, I embraced the magic of millets, creating a dish that danced with the essence of Bihar and Dilli. My creation, a Two Millets Khichdi with a tadka of black garlic and cumin, Baigan Bhaja, tangy Sweet Potato, and Jamun Chutney, was a tribute to India's rich food heritage and innovation. Truly a gastronomic celebration of India's superfood in the International Year of Millets. My dish was a confluence of Bihar's Zest and Dilli's warmth.

At the heart of Delhi, amidst the aromas of countless dishes, I had the privilege to set up my stall at Coca-Cola's 'Delhi is Cooking' festival. Kababs, a dish I cherish, was my choice – a symbol of my love for food. To many, a kabab might seem straightforward, but to me, it's a canvas of flavors; straightforward yet intricate. The joy of it lies in its duality – perfect to be savored alone or as the star of a complete meal. The festival not only allowed me to serve my cherished dishes but also to reconnect with old friends and meet some wonderful new ones. Each skewer handed over was not just food, but a piece of my heart, a story, a memory. The gleaming eyes and contented smiles of those who tasted my kababs were the true rewards. The joy of sharing my favorite dish was truly unparalleled. Together, we can serve stories, not just meals.

An Ode to Kokani Culinary Poetry at @ammeez.kitchen In the heart of Mumbai, a gastronomic love story unfolded, beckoning me to explore the artistry of Kokani cuisine before bidding the city adieu. ✨❤️ Through a WhatsApp food group, I stumbled upon Ammeez Kitchen, a culinary treasure I did not know what I was missing out on. I made the call, and Shabana extended an invitation: "Come, let's dine together. And i experience a homely feast. 🏡💕 Ammeez Kitchen, nestled in Marol, boasts four enchanting ladies—Shabana, Jabeen, Nasreen, and Salma Ammi—and their charming feline companions. 🐱🌟 Their flavors are not merely dishes; they're verses of pure poetry, evoking warmth and nostalgia. From the sea's bounty to succulent chicken, and mutton and an array of locally-sourced vegetables and sweets, each bite is a stanza of delight. 🍽️📜 Kokani cuisine, a well-kept secret for too long, is now emerging from its hidden cocoon, gracing home-dining experiences and pop-ups with its rich heritage. 🌅✨ This cuisine, deeply rooted in the earth's bounty, dances to the rhythm of locally harvested produce. Kokani Muslim culinary artistry, distinct from Mughlai cuisine, whispers tales of coconut, rice, lentils, onions, potatoes, and the fiery red chilies. 🥥🍚🌶️ Ammeez Kitchen, Marol, invites you to embark on a beautiful culinary journey, where flavors and dishes are like stanzas in a heartwarming epic. 📜🍛✨ With these four ladies, my food senses were dancing and singing the notes of Kokani cuisine. I enjoyed the food spice and the food stories. Every bite has a story and flavors. #FoodandStreets #KokaniCuisine #AmmeezKitchen #CulinaryPoetry #FoodRomance #EpicFlavors #HomemadeDelights #TasteOfTradition #MumbaiFoodies #HiddenGem #FoodAdventure
Kolkata's biryani, a treasure in the city's culinary legacy. The spirited debate over why this city claims the finest biryani, with its iconic potato and egg, could leave you breathless. Its charm lies in its delicate texture, steering clear of overwhelming spices, and the harmonious meat-egg-potato balance. Arslan, a biryani maestro, emerged in 2002, yet its legacy is undeniable. Their egg, chicken, and mutton biryanis, in regular (serving at least two) and special (with two egg or meat pieces) variations, are a testament to Kolkata's love affair with this iconic dish. #Foodandstreets #biryani #chickenbiryani #biryanirecipe #biryanilovers #muttonbiryani #biryaniforlife #kolkata #kolkatadiaries #kolkatasutra #kolkatabuzz #kolkatafood #kolkatagram #kolkatacity #kolkatafoodie #kolkatastreets #kolkata_igers #kolkatatimes #food #foodstagram #foodlovers #foodgram #foodart
I was in Kolkata on Saturday, 14th October to discuss food and food writing with @prabhakhaitanfoundation. Food is more than just sustenance; it's a gateway to understanding the rich tapestry of culture, community, and the ever-evolving tapestry of time and space. 🍽️🌍 Each dish tells a story, woven with the traditions and customs of a particular region or people. Exploring the flavors of a cuisine allows us to traverse the globe without leaving our table, connecting with diverse communities in a single bite. 🌏❤️ Food also acts as a time machine, preserving the essence of centuries-old recipes that have been passed down through generations. With every dish, we taste the history and evolution of a culture, honoring the wisdom of those who came before us. ⏳🍲 And let's not forget the magic of space! From bustling street food markets to Michelin-starred restaurants, food transcends geographical boundaries, offering us a taste of different worlds, all on one plate. ✨🌆
Saloni Mewa Ki Khichdi, a delightful sweet rice infused with saffron, stands as a cherished creation of Sheherwali cuisine. It's intriguing to observe that nearly every region within the vast expanse of the Indian subcontinent boasts its variation of Meethe Chawal, each marked by a common thread—an enchanting sunflower or saffron-yellow hue and the gentle, alluring fragrance of cardamom and ghee. The choice of sweetening agent varies, be it sugar, sugarcane juice, or the rich earthiness of jaggery. The preparation method diverges as well; some opt for a simmering in sugar syrup, while others prefer a gentle toss in a sweet elixir. Perhaps this widespread inclination toward rice-based dishes, from savory to sweet, arises from rice's esteemed status in Indian culinary history. Recognized for its lightness, cooling properties, and ease of digestion, rice has earned its place as a versatile and wholesome ingredient. Rice recipes, spanning from ancient to modern cookbooks, grace the culinary landscape. The composition of these dishes reflects thoughtful consideration, often revolving around seasonality or special celebrations, incorporating local flavors into their tapestry.
In a corner of Kolkata’s 60 Phears Lane, Chuna Gali, a culinary ballet unfolds. The Sutli kabab: a symphony of meat and spices, tenderly embraced by a cotton thread, dancing over ember flames. Grilled to perfection, the string unravels, revealing a succulent masterpiece adorned with freshly cut onions, spicy coriander chutney, and lemon slices. One bite, and memories of Purani Dilli's Babu Bhai Kababwale whispered on my palate. Yet, each has its own song, its own spice tale. Adam’s Kabab Shop of Kolkata was established in the Pre Independence-Calcutta of 1918, it stands as a testament to time, flavor, and legacy. Originally crafted by Shubani Mia and named in honor of his son, Md. Adam, today it's the diligent hands of Md. Salahuddin, Adam's own son, that continue this flavorful legacy, especially as Ramzan's crescent moon casts its silvery glow over Kolkata. #FoodandStreets #CulinaryDelights #KolkataEats #FoodCulture #TraditionalCuisine #StreetFoodLove #FlavorfulLegacy #FoodTradition #KababLovers #Kabab #FoodHeritage #TasteOfKolkata #LocalFlavors #FoodStories #KolkataFoodScene #CulinaryTraditions #KolkataFoodie

Not every day you meet humble and fantastic people. I met Bilal in Mahabaleshwar serving delicious Strawberry Fruit Cream. Approachable in his body language, and takes pride in his craft of creating a simple dessert. I suppose his attitude and approach added value to his dishes. Strawberry cream is a perfect marriage of sweet and creamy flavors. Fresh strawberries topped with whipped cream are put on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It should be on your list when you visit Mahabaleshwar or Panchgani. #FoodandStreets #StrawberryCream #travelphoto #intags #mahabaleshwar🍓 #strawberrymilk #maharashtra_ig #strawberry #travelgram #traveling #dessertshop #traveladdict #streetsofmaharashtra #desserts #travelbug #strawberryjam #mahabaleshwardiaries😍 #maharashtra #maharashtra_clickers #travelpics #dessertsofinstagram #strawberry🍓 #travelawesome

If you love pottery and art, you must visit Khurja or just your neighbourhood pottery store, or if you have a friend who does this for a living, It is fun to see the creativity, the thought, and how the potters leave a piece of life, their sign, in the art they create. I like visiting Khurja just to appreciate the art; you do get a lot of inexpensive and wonderful quality products there, the kind that you would find at various Banjara markets in Delhi-NCR. #foodandstreets #Khurja #traveling #cutleryart #saturday #contemporaryceramics #ceramicsofinstagram #intags #instatravel #travelgram #potterylove #potterywheel #potterymugs #smallbusinesssaturday #tasteintravel #saturdaymood #potterybarn #ceramicstudio #travelandlife #vintagepottery #ceramicsstudio #saturdaymorning #cutlery #travel #potterystudio #ceramicsculpture #handmadepottery
Maleeda is put in water to get a porridge consistency of a meal. Ashura, or ‘Porridge of Plenty’ is said to be the last meal of Imam Hussain and his followers before they died on the battlefield of Karbala. The Porridge is made during Muharram to pay tribute to their sacrifice. The tenth day of Muharram is also known for being a period of mourning where the Muslim community commemorates the martyrdom of the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Hussain and his little son, who were mercilessly killed by an oppressive ruler in the Battle of Karbala. #Foodandstreets #muharram #maleeda #malida #intags #homemadebread #saturdays #breadmaking #rusticbread #saturday #bread #dailybread #saturdaymood #saturdaymorning
Coconut apples, or coconut embryos, are commonly referred to as nariyal ka fal, nariyal ka beej, or nariyal ka ankur in India. This unusual fruit marks an interesting period in a coconut's life cycle, when the coconut begins to sprout and form a sponge-like material. The coconut apple is a novel fruit due to its airy texture and flavorful, nutty sweetness. The flavour is concentrated in its outer layer, while the fluffy interior is more subdued. Have you ever tried this and do you have a local ritual as well involving nariyal ka fal? #Foodandstreets #travelandlife #coconuticecream #sprouted #sprouts #coconutcream #tasteintravel #coconutlover #freshfruit #traveldeeper #freshwater #coconutchutney #fresh #travel #eatfruit #bangalore_diaries #coconut #coconutmilk #freshfood #coconuts #fruits #sprout #coconuttree #coconutbowls

A few days back I was invited by @taiyabaali at @roohnewdelhi to try her special pop-up menu celebrating Awadh and more specifically Lucknow in a modern avatar. Phalsa Sorbet and Balai Aam were two of my absolute favourite, despite the fact that there were many delectable foods that were presented in contemporary ways and fashions. The only ingredients in the sorbet were phalsa and sea salt, whereas the balai aam featured fresh Alphonso as well as thick cream in the traditional Lucknowa style. Balai is one such ingredient which Lucknow walas love (many of them). It's rich and creamy thanks to the reduction of milk, and it has the nutty flavour of clotted cream (malai). Milk is reduced to a very thick consistency by slowly heating it (never boiling it) in thick-bottomed, flat and shallow kadhais at which point the balai layer forms and the balai are withdrawn and stacked on top of each other. #Foodandstreets #rooh #popup #qutub #menu #mango #mangorecipes #phalsa #lunch #lunchtime #lunchspecials #lucknow #lucknowcity #lucknowdiaries #lucknowfoodies #lucknowtimes #lucknowfood #Delhi #delhigram #delhincr

Dates fruits are associated with fasting & the month of Ramadan. The nutritious fruits are not only the start of iftar meals but also a part of many desserts prepared during the holy month But why are dates such an indispensable part of Ramadan food? Historians believe that dates are one of the ancient fruits and their cultivation traces back to around 8,000 years ago. There are more than 200 varieties of dates with different shapes and flavors, however, all of them are rich in nutrition. Dates are a popular food item, not just in the Middle East but all over the world. They have amazing nutritional properties and just a few dates can keep you energised for hours; one of the many reasons people buy them. Dates or the date-palm are mentioned in the Qur’an 22 times, which is more than any other fruit tree, so we know their significance is rooted deep in Islam. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) knew of their benefits & greatly enjoyed eating them & encouraged those around him to do the same. The date was one of Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) favourite and most desired food items. For this reason, many Muslims today consume dates not just during Ramadan but throughout the year, regarding the fruit as part of the blessed prophetic diet. For Muslims, adopting the habits and practices, or Sunnah, of the Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) is regarded as something praiseworthy and blessed. Ramadan is a very popular time to eat dates because the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When one of you breaks his fast, let him break it with dates for they are blessed. If they are not found, let him break it with water for it is pure.” [Tirmidhī] It is customary in many countries for Muslims to break their fast at the time of Iftar by consuming dates. Stuffed Dates are a popular Ramadan treat made with dates that you cut open and stuff with various fillings, garnished with chocolate, coconut, crushed nuts or chopped up dried fruits & given as gifts.

Am I showing off, yes I surely am. This is my fan moment. Seeing a person on TV forever and learning from him. A man inspired millions and I was one among them. And, today to be able to share the stage with him, show him my presence, tell him I exist in this universe, take him to Old Delhi tour, and share space with him. This was a surreal feel.

In Delhi, you're never far from a chaikhana or a small cycle cart selling tea. Wazir Tea and Coffee Shop remains open around the clock, without missing a single day on the calendar. It is owned and managed by Maulana Wazirudin and his sons. I met one of the sons, Azeemudin, at the shop. He puts on his skull cap and says "Bismillah" before we start talking. The family is religious, and the work shift is based on the timings of the azaan. Wazeer bhai comes in the evening to manage the shop, while the sons are present through the day. While most chai stalls use a stovetop, they have a coffee maker usually found at wedding venues. The electric espresso coffee machine boils the full fat milk and adds a nice foamy finish. They don’t use regular or low-fat milk, because they believe chai must me made with the full fat version for best results. "15 rupaiye lekar agar zayka nahi diya to kya fayda (what is the point of charging ₹ 15 per cup if we can't serve good, flavorful tea)," says Azeemudin. Tea helps understand the tea seller.

The next day of Lohri is Makar or Til Sankranti. You will surely see me eating Poha and Curd (दही चूड़ा) and celebrating or starting my day with light food. According to Indian astrology, Sankranti marks the day when the Sun moves from one zodiac sign to another. Traditionally, Hindus celebrate a total of 12 Sankrantis throughout the year. However, the only time this event is observed is on Makara Sankranti, when the Sun moves from Sagittarius ('Dhanu' Rashi) to Capricorn ('Makara' Rasi). In this example, the precession of the Earth is taken into consideration by measuring the zodiac sidereally rather than tropically. It is also believed that Aryans used to worship the Sun and seek protection from the change in weather. The Sun is revered on Makar Sankranti because it is believed to be "Pratyaksha-Braham," "a manifestation of the absolute," bestowing knowledge, spiritual light, and wisdom. Consequently, Surya, the Sun God, is thanked and prayed to throughout the country on this day. Sankranti, like Lohri, celebrates the harvest, especially in rice-growing regions. On Makar Sankranti, fresh grains are offered to the Gods before being eaten. Ayurveda recommends light, readily digestible khichdi. Khichdi prepares the body for spring's warmer weather. The body is thrown off by sudden heat. Khichdi is the perfect supper since it fills hunger and provides nutrients. Ayurveda advises eating sesame seeds and jaggery on this auspicious day. Since the holiday is also called "Til Sankranti," "Sankranti" and "Til" (sesame) can be used interchangeably. Sesame seeds' ability to negate harmful emotions and improve "Sattva," or purity, kindness, and harmony, aids spiritual practise. Even though I find this day logical with the way one eats but I am sure to make this day a celebration and more significant, people must have come up with theories, mythologies, and Gods. #Foodandstreets #sankranti #sankrantispecial #til #sesame #sesameseeds #bihar #bihari #odisha #odishafood #maharashtra #maharashtra_ig #food #foodstagram #foodlover #foodblog #foodies #culture #culturegram #culturematters #culturetrip
Is Lohri a Sikh festival, or is it a festival celebrated in Punjab or Punjab families? There are apparent differences between the two. A festival that the farmer community used to mark, regardless of religion (and now everyone celebrates). They could be Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Jains, or any other kind of person. Lohri is India's first festival and the first day of the New Year. Lohri. In northern India, especially in Punjab, the harvest festival starts with a party to thank the farmers for their hard work and for making it possible for us to live well. On Lohri, people in Punjab, India's most fertile region, celebrate the sugarcane harvest. Sesame seeds, palm sugar, radishes, mustard, and spinach are also grown. These are the main things that people come to see at the festival. People celebrate Lohri to thank Surya, the Sun God, for blessing everyone with his presence and giving them a harvest that has never been seen before. One of the first Hindu festivals of the year is called a peasant holiday. It is a harvest festival where peasants can thank God. But how did Sundar Mundariye become linked to Lohri? (Maybe through folklore.) Just because it all happened on the same night as the Lohri festival. A legendary Punjabi hero named Rai Abdullah Khan Bhatti or Dulla Bhatti, who was a Muslim farmer and was known as the Robin Hood of his time, saved two innocent Brahmin girls named Sundri and Mundri from the hands of Emperor Akbar. Dulla Bhatti became the godfather of these sisters, and it is thought that he married them off at Lohri with a lot of pomp and celebration. This was a direct challenge to Emperor Akbar's authority.

An absolutely perfect way to start the day and relish the first week of the year 2023. The future... It's anyone's guess. I love the mornings, and on a cold morning I feel especially pleased and hopeful. Shakespeare's Sonnet 33 sprang to mind. Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy... #Foodandstreets #morningvibes #morning #morningmotivation #morningroutine #morningcoffee #morningmood #morningthoughts #2023 #newyear #thursday #thursdayvibes #thursdaythoughts #thursdaymotivation #shakespeare #sonnet
Barniyon mein achaar, itmenan aur hastratein band ki jaati hai, a woman tells me while we were buying pickles together in Old Delhi. How do men and women see comfort/nostalgic food? Due to the role of women in bygone years, they were the ones who usually prepared the meals and consequently weren't so accustomed to having prepared meals for them. As a matter of fact, this leads to the consequence that women would not derive the same comfort or satisfaction from the same food. Thus, where men usually seek hearty meals for comfort food, women tend to opt for snacks that require very little or no preparation. This is said to be the reason why adult women are the most inclined to snack on chocolate, cakes, and crisps simply because the food is not labor-expensive.
