Have Some Leftover Puran Poli? Make Aamti - Maharashtrian Dal - With It

By now, we all have gotten into the habit of reusing leftover food. The months-long lockdown during 2020 and 2021 have taught us how to utilise the given resources to the fullest. Today, we do not flip the excess food in the trash. Instead, we try to go creative and prepare something interesting for the next meal. If you scroll through the internet, you will find many such unique recipes prepared…

[nohkalikai]

If you were to ever dip into the book and pay close attention to the recipes — you’d realise that most of them do not need oil. Why is that? Because, Dalits could not afford oil, and that is why we have dishes such as the steamed mutke, which is made out of jowar, garlic and coriander. Instead of oil we used beef fat. Then, there is the famous Maharashtrian dish, the rich puran poli, but the Mangs used to substitute ghee with butter milk for obvious reasons. Reading about some of the other dishes in the book would amuse someone with a sense of irony. For instance, we have been having a sort of blood pudding for ages. Lakuti is essentially cow/buffalo/bullock blood that is generally infused with a fiery masala called yesur and then boiled. We have also been practising ‘nose to tail eating’ for years. In fact, fashi, a dish made out of the epiglottis of a cow/bullock has long been a delicacy among Dalits in Marathwada. I believe foraging is the new trend in the West, and there are restaurants that take great pride in having foraged food as part of their menu. But again, centuries of deprivation made expert foragers out of us — wild leafy vegetables, bee larvae and pumpkin leaves were for a long time a part of our diet.

oooh is it Holi tomorrow? :DD can you give us some ideas or headcanons about James celebrating Holi with his parents/Sirius/Harry? <33

Honestly, depending on a few factors, everyone celebrates Holi on a different day (the traditions for Holi are different depending on the sect of Hinduism and region of celebration as well). Also, North Indian होली and Maharashtrian होळी (search up the differences in pronunciation, it's a bit hard to describe) are two completely different religious holidays. The Hindi होली (ho-lee) is equivalent to the Marathi "ranga panchami" (ranga- colour, panchami- fifth day of a lunar cycle). As far as I know, the Marathi होळी doesn't have an equivalent.

The traditions I'm going by are my family traditions— the Marathi traditions of my region— so i hope you enjoy. Let's goooo!

Oh yeah, this is before Harry turns eleven and goes to Hogwarts.

The day of होळी signifies the first day of spring in Maharashtra. Every year, the members of the Black-Potter family start the day by watching the sunrise together with cups of spicy chaha (marathi for chai).

The day is pretty much the usual, except for food. James cooks up a storm in the kitchen, making all the pancha pakwaan (pancha- five, pakwaan- dishes) with puran poli (a sweet flatbread), three different vegetables, rice, amti (somewhat like daal, either drunk from the bowl or poured over rice), and a traditional dessert. They invite the Weasleys, the Marauders and the Longbottoms over, and have a veritable feast for lunch and dinner. A very chaotic affair, but the Black-Potters love it.

All three of them absolutely adore panchamrut (pancha- five, amrut- nectar of the Gods. It's made of five ingredients- milk, ghee, sugar, curd, honey). Once James is done with his pooja and the naividya (the first morsel/sip of any food/drink is always offered to the Gods), the three of them pounce on the drink with all the vigour of someone who hasn't had anything to eat for days.

As the evening draws closer, Harry, the Weasley kids, Neville, and Lily and Remus out to the woods that surround the house and collect dried wood for. Meanwhile, James, Sirius and Peter gather the panchamrut and a bite each of the pancha pakwaan, and ready the porch for lighting a safe fire with the help of the Molly, Arthur, Augusta, Alice and Frank.

Just as the sun sets, the bonfire is lit, and the blaze reaches high into the sky within minutes, helped along by magic. Everyone sits around it in a circle, closing their eyes and praying— the fire signifies the destruction of the bad energy of the previous year and the purification of the soul for a better new year. Holi is the first day of spring, a mark of new beginnings, a symbol of clean slates and fresh starts. The Holi fire is where you throw all your baggage of the last year so it burns till it is gone, to prepare yourself for the upcoming year.

The pancha pakwaan and panchamrut are poured into the fire to loud cheers from the children, and then the real festivities begin. Everyone walks around the fire in a circle, howling at the top of their lungs. The sounds are slightly terrifying, especially when the darkness really sets in and the only light is the massive bonfire, but Harry loves the ferality of the entire thing. It's primal, the way the war cries rise up with the fire, echoing throughout the massive grounds of Potter Manor like the echoes of screaming ghosts.

Sometimes, Harry, Ginny and the Weasley twins start war dances instead of the howling. Those times, Bill and Charlie eagerly join in along with James, Lily and Alice, and the hard and fast thumping of their feet on the packed mud porch makes it seem like an earthquake is cracking the ground open.

Other times, they write their mistakes, insecurities, bad thoughts and regrets of the past year onto slips of paper and throw them into the fire, to signify the new start. Last year does not matter anymore; it is done and you cannot change it. You can have a new beginning, though, and Harry vows every year that he will be a better person.

James loves these times, where everyone he cares about is close to him and glowing with happiness. Holi is his favourite festival, because it is the day he and Sirius kissed for the first time. It is the day he remembers with fondness— childhood years spent with his parents and grandparents and cousins in a crowded wada (kind of like a palace but the size varies from anywhere between four bedrooms to like 70), sneaking panchamrut from under his mother's nose, dancing Garba around the fire with his Gujju friends in India, the day the Potter family first moved to Britain right before his 11th birthday. People expect his favourite festival to be Diwali or Ganpati Chaturthi because they are loud and huge and phenomenal celebrations, but his favourite is this— all his favourite people in the same place with the same happy smile and the same traditions that he loved when he had blood family.

Holi is a festival for families and loved ones, and the Black-Potters have a lot of love to go around. Family isn't defined by blood, after all.

"Dahi Handi: A Festival of Unity and Joy"

"Govinda Ala Re Ala!

The sound of drums, the rustle of clothes, and the shout of triumph... Dahi Handi is here!

Govinda Pathaks making Human Pyramid

Dahi Handi is a joyful celebration in India, typically observed on the second day of Krishna Janmashtami. It is a Hindu Festival. Dahi refers to Curd and Hundi refers to an earthern pot filled with milk products. Dahi Handi also Known as Gopalkala or Utalotsavam. Krishna loved butter and curd as a child, and would often break pots to get it. This is what Dahi Handi celebrates.

"Why Dahi Handi is Celebrated a Day After Janmashtami?"

because, according to mythological tradition, Lord Krishna's birthday is celebrated on the day of Janmashtami, and the next day is considered the day when he started his childhood antics, including breaking pots of butter and curd.

Dahi Handi :History

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna loved butter and curd. So he along with his friends used to steal butter and curd from the neighborhood too . Tired of this mischievous nature of Shri Krishna, he filled the pots with butter and curd and hang their pots at a height where it was difficult to reach that for little kanha.Little Krishna came up with the idea of making a human pyramid in order to reach their goal. That's why he was known as Makhan Chor.

How Dahi Handi is celebrated?

Dahi Handi is celebrated with great enthusiasm and energy.The festival begins with music, dance and Chanting of krishna's name. Then formation of Human pyramids by Govinda teams begins.

The teams attempt to break the clay pot (handi) hung high above the ground, filled with curd, butter,the contents spill out, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Then curd and butter distributed among crowd.The team that breaks the pot wins prizes and praise. Then, everyone celebrates with more music, dance, and fun, to honor Krishna's fun and loving nature.

Dahi Handi Celebration in Maharashtra

Maharashta , particularly Mumbai, is known for its vibrant Dahi Handi celebrations.

•Thousands of Govinda teams or Govinda pathak (Govinda is another of Lord Krishna ), mostly comprising young men, participate in the celebrations, showcasing their strength, agility, and teamwork.Govinda teams start practicing weeks in advance, perfecting their formations.On the festival day, they compete to break as many Dahi Handis as possible,forming towering 5-7 tier human pyramids that showcase their remarkable strength, strategy, and teamwork.

•Dahi Handi in Maharashtra is highly competitive, with teams vying for prizes and recognition. Many events offer substantial cash prizes, attracting skilled teams from across the state.

•Bollywood celebrities often participate in or sponsor Dahi Handi events, adding glamour to the celebrations.

•Participants and spectators wear traditional attire, including kurta-pyjamas and phetas.

• Maharashtrian cuisine, such as puran poli and vada pav, is an integral part of the celebrations.

• Dahi Handi in Maharashtra is a community-driven celebration, with locals actively participating and organizing events.

•The Maharashtra government provides support and recognition to Dahi Handi celebrations, promoting the state's cultural heritage.

Women's Parcipation in Dahi Handi:

Traditionally, Dahi Handi was a male-dominated festival, but in recent years, women's participation has increased significantly.

•Some cities now have all-women Govinda teams, who form human pyramids and break the handi with equal enthusiasm and skill. Some organizers arrange separate competitions for women,offering equal prizes and recognition.

•Organizers holding training sessions and workshops specifically for women is a wonderful way to encourage their participation in Dahi Handi.

•Women's participation in Dahi Handi promotes gender equality.

By breaking the handi together, men and women break down gender barriers, promoting a more inclusive and equal society.

Administration Role:

The administration plays very important role in organizing Dahi Handi Celebrations by providing necessary permissions, ensuring saftey measures such as Medical Survice, Fire Brigades, etc.

They promote events through local media and social media. Additionally, they maintain law and order, collaborate with event organizers, and provide support to ensure a smooth and successful celebration.

Dahi Handi is more than just a festival – it's a symbol of the unbreakable human spirit. With every handi broken and every pyramid formed, we are reminded that together, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness.

Happy Dahi Handi🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Fine Dining: High-end restaurants that provide an upscale dining experience with gourmet food and excellent service. Cafés and Bistros: Perfect for a light meal or coffee with a cozy ambiance. Themed Restaurants: Unique dining spots with specific themes, perfect for a unique dining experience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Restaurant

Cuisine Preference

One of the first things to consider is your cuisine preference. Mumbai’s restaurants offer a wide range of options, so it’s important to decide what type of food you’re in the mood for. Whether you crave traditional Indian cuisine, Asian delicacies, or Western fare, you’ll find plenty of options.

Location

Mumbai is a vast city with heavy traffic, so the location of the restaurant can be a crucial factor. Choose a place that is conveniently located, either close to your home, workplace, or a specific area you’re visiting. Proximity to public transportation can also be a significant factor.

Ambiance

The ambiance of a restaurant can greatly enhance your dining experience. Consider what kind of atmosphere you’re looking for:

Casual and Cozy: Perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. Chic and Modern: Ideal for a date night or a business dinner. Traditional and Cultural: Great for experiencing local culture and heritage.

Unique and Themed: For a fun and memorable dining experience.

Reviews and Ratings

In the digital age, customer reviews and ratings are invaluable resources. Check online platforms like Google Reviews, Zomato, TripAdvisor, and Yelp to get insights into other diners' experiences. Look for restaurants with high ratings and read through the reviews to get a sense of the food quality, service, and overall experience.

Menu and Specialties

Before deciding on a restaurant, it's a good idea to look at the menu. Many restaurants have their menus available online. Check if they offer the dishes you are interested in and if they have any specialties or signature dishes. This can also help you determine if the restaurant caters to any dietary restrictions you may have, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or keto options.

Price Range

Mumbai offers dining options for every budget. Decide on a price range you’re comfortable with and look for restaurants within that bracket. Keep in mind that higher prices often come with better ambiance, service, and food quality, but there are also many mid-range and budget-friendly options that offer excellent value for money.

Service Quality

Good service can make a huge difference in your dining experience. Look for reviews that mention the quality of service, the attentiveness of the staff, and the overall hospitality of the restaurant. Friendly and efficient service can elevate even a simple meal.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Hygiene is a critical factor, especially when it comes to dining out. Make sure the restaurant maintains high standards of cleanliness in both the dining area and the kitchen. This can often be inferred from customer reviews or by a quick visit to the restaurant.

Reservation Policy

Some popular restaurants in Mumbai require reservations, especially during weekends and peak hours. Check if the restaurant has a reservation policy and if it’s necessary to book a table in advance. This can save you time and ensure you have a spot, particularly at sought-after dining spots.

Special Occasions and Events

If you’re celebrating a special occasion or looking for a place that offers something unique, such as live music, themed nights, or special events, this can also influence your choice. Many restaurants host events or have special menus for occasions like Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, and other festivities.

Conclusion

Choosing the best restaurant in Mumbai involves considering various factors, from your cuisine preference and budget to the ambiance and location. With this guide, you can navigate through Mumbai’s diverse culinary landscape and find the perfect dining spot for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a romantic dinner, or a memorable culinary experience, Mumbai has something to offer for every food lover.

What is a typical main course dish at an Indian wedding?

Indian weddings are renowned for their vibrant celebrations, overflowing with delicious food. But with a vast culinary landscape, what reigns supreme as the typical main course dish? The answer, like India itself, is beautifully diverse!

A Regional Affair

India's rich tapestry of cultures ensures a wedding feast reflects regional specialties. Here are some main course contenders you might encounter, depending on the location

North India : The creamy indulgence of Butter Chicken or Dal Makhani is a surefire crowd-pleaser. For a celebratory touch, look out for Biryani, a fragrant rice dish layered with meat or vegetables.

South India: Dosa, a crispy fermented crepe filled with potato masala, is a popular vegetarian option. In Kerala, fragrant curries like Meen Curry (fish) or Elaneer Curry (tender coconut) might take center stage.

West India: Puran Poli, a flatbread stuffed with a sweet lentil filling, is a staple in Maharashtrian weddings. Gujarati weddings might feature Dhansak, a lentil stew with dollops of tangy chutney.

East India: Machher Jhol (fish curry) is a Bengali wedding favorite, while Odia weddings might showcase the unique flavors of Pakhala, a fermented rice dish.

Beyond Geography

While regional specialties are prominent, weddings often cater to a wider audience. This means you'll likely find a delightful spread, including

Paneer Dishes: Paneer, an Indian cheese, features in various curries and stir-fries, offering a delightful vegetarian alternative.

Vegetable Delights: From vibrant curries like Aloo Gobi (potato and cauliflower) to stir-fried creations, there's an abundance of vegetarian options.

Also See: Latest Indian Wedding Food Menu Lists and Ideas

The Art of Sharing

The beauty of an Indian wedding feast lies in its communal spirit. Dishes are meant to be shared, enjoyed with fluffy breads like Naan or Roti, and accompanied by cooling raita and tangy pickles.

So, the next time you attend an Indian wedding, remember, there's no single "typical" main course. It's a vibrant symphony of flavors, a celebration of culinary diversity, and a testament to the joyous togetherness that marks this special occasion.
