#Potato-Pea Khichdi

[tennessoui]

Ooo so these aren't ,,technically” a soup (potato potato, you know) but Indian dishes of soup like consistency <3 you can just eat them by the bowl or get bread/rice with the dish

There’s spinach cooked in green gram (moong dal palak), Sanjeev Kapoor’s recipe works out great for it; just use 1 tablespoon of oil and if you’re using green chillies, chop them, but if its red chillies leave them whole. Also, once you’re done taking it off the flame, take a hand blender to it and make it smooth, you can add water as needed after the blender to make it the consistency you want(if you added too much water, you can just put it back on the flame and let it simmer for some time). After this, add the lemon juice <3 you can have this with bread or rice or just by itself :) The recipe is in the description of the video 

Then there’s khichdi, the dish everyone has when they’re sick. You can go by literally any recipe for khichdi, it’s a really simple dish, I don’t think recipes would differ…. But just check if it’s not dry khichdi (you shouldn’t be able to make out individual rice) 

One last dish I would recommend is Pav bhaji- but only the bhaji, you can have it without the bread <3 we normally put potatoes, tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, peas, okra and capsicum in our recipe.  This is a good recipe (pls don’t add the food colouring they’re kinda crazy not everyone in Mumbai adds that) but I understand if if the spices are difficult to obtain (kasuri methi= dried fenugreek leaves) If there’s a store near you selling spices for south asian people, they would have this and also the pre mixed Pav bhaji masala. Dental surgeries are a PAIN I hope you feel better soon kit <3

ahhh what a resource this is!! i gotta admit i do not have a lot of exposure to indian food, but i will have to try because a lot of stuff looks delicious especially the recipe i found for khichdi!

and moong dal palak is on my shortlist--the video makes it look so good!!!

thank you so much! i started browsing through Hebbar's Kitchen--it feels like you've unlocked a whole new world of food i am going to get so into <3 i live really close to an international store with a huge south asia section-- hopefully i can do this justice!!

From Temples to Puja Mandaps to Chandi Medha

Growing up in a Cuttack locality has so many fond childhood memories. One of them is the Bengali style Bhoger Khichudi that we (children of the locality) used to feast on during Durga Puja.

Less than quarter of a km from our residence was located the Binapani Club (Estd 1888) at Badhei Sahi where Bengalis gathered together as Buxi Bazar Durga Puja Samity and organised Sarbojanin or Community Durga Puja in Mrinamayee Murti (clay idol) form. The puja is said to have been organised for the first time by Janaki Nath Bose( father of Subash Chandra Bose), then a flourishing lawyer of Cuttack alongwith some of his friends.

A highlight of Ashtami and Navami was the niramish (without use of onion and garlic) khichudi or khichdi. It had the regular rice and moong dal along with a few additions like spices, peas, potatoes and tomatoes.

The delicious bhog was served at lunch time 1- 2 pm to all those who were in the club around that time for free. The unique feature of their bhog was the individual attention that they gave towards each visitor.

The concept of Sarvojanin puja also brought people of the entire locality together, irrespective of their social strata. This community spirit reached its high point, when hundreds of people, both children and grown-ups regardless of their social backgrounds sat cross-legged in rows to have their delicious serving of hot khichdi bhog.

Before Sarvojanin Durga Puja came to be celebrated in Cuttack, it was mainly confined to the temples – Cuttack Chandi Mandir and Gada Chandi Mandir. It was not before 19th century that the millennium city started celebrating the Durga Puja influenced by Bengalis at a time when the entire country had come under British rule.

Till Orissa attained statehood in 1936 it was part of the larger Bengal Presidency. Initially, a burgeoning middle class of Bengalis who had settled in the erstwhile capital city – Cuttack started to observe Durga Puja in Mrinamayee Murti (clay idol) form. Later they gave way to community Pujas that were conceptualised in permanent puja mandaps.

The earliest worshipping of Mrinamayee Murti of Goddess Durga is traced to a thatched house in Binod Bihar-Balu Bazar area during Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s visit to Cuttack in 1512. The idol was consecrated in the presence of the Bengali saint.

The Bengali priest who had accompanied the saint stayed behind and followed it up by full-fledged Durga Puja in 1513 in the thatched house which is now the Binod Bihari temple and the Puja Mandap of Balu Bazar Puja Committee.

In 1890, the business community of Balu Bazar (then the prime business centre in the city) together with residents of the locality took up the responsibility of the Puja and converted it into Sarvojanin Durga puja. Till now the descendants of the Bengali priest (Banerjees) continue to be the main priest of the Puja Mandap. The Goddess here is known as ‘Elder Sister’.

The Goddess at the Chandni Chowk Puja Mandap is known as ‘Younger Sister’. Nobody knows why. In 1817, a Bengali family (Duttas) started puja of Durga in clay idol form in a thatched house at AstaSambhu temple. Subsequently, it received the patronage of the royal family of Darpani and was shifted to the present Puja Mandap.

By end of 19th century, it was turned into Sarbojanin puja by pooling in the support of Dasah Sahis (ten localities). In the 1940s the Darpani royal family handed over the responsibility of Durga Puja to the people of the locality. Due to the royal link the idols of most Puja Mandaps in Cuttack were brought in a procession to the Chandni Chowk Puja Mandap before being taken for immersion to Purighat.

Even to this day the custom is being followed by around 40 of the old puja mandaps. The present number of Puja Mandaps have crossed 150. Of them around 80 observe Durga Puja in Mrinamayee murti form. The rest come up with idols of Mahadev and Hara Parvat.

Durga Puja in Mrinamayee murti form was also started by Late Swaroop Chandra Das, a Bengali Zamindar at his residence in Machua Bazar in as early as 1752. The Das family which continued with the tradition opened it up for the community of the locality two centuries later. The Goddess there is popularly known as Sarpa Durga.

Another Durga Puja in Mrinamayee murti form was started at Janakinath Bhawan, the ancestral house of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at Oriya Bazar. When Subhas was rusticated following the ‘Oaten incident’ – alleged assault on E A Oaten, professor in history by students- he came to Cuttack in March 1916. In the same year Subhas along with friends of the locality started the Durga Puja.

Subhas returned to Calcutta within less than a year to resume his studies when Calcutta University revoked the rustication order. But his friends continued this tradition under the patronage of Subhas’s father Janaki Nath Bose. The puja was converted into a community celebration by the Oriya Bazar Sarbajanin Durga Puja Samiti when the entire Bose family decided to shift to Calcutta and settle there. Years later the Durga Puja started by Subhas Bose was shifted to the permanent Puja Mandap of Durgabari Samiti at Alamchand Bazar.

In 1832, Oriya and Bengali employees of the East India Company started Durga puja at Kazi Bazar. This is said to be the earliest Sarbojanin Durga puja in the city.

The Choudhury Bazar Panchayat Committee started Durga puja in Mrinamayee Murti form in 1872. Choudhury Bazar - one of the important business centres in Cuttack is said to have been named after one Manjinath Choudhury who constructed a Jain temple in the locality during the Maratha rule.

The mandap became a star attraction for visitors during Durga Puja when it pioneered use of traditional decorative craft associated with silver as base metal for the backdrop to the clay idol. With it came up the first Chandi Medha – silver filigree backdrop by using 250 kg of pure silver in 1955.

The ornamental style had then no parallel in the country as far as silver filigree was concerned. The Choudhury Bazar puja mandap continued to have the lone Chandi Medha in the city till the unique style was picked up by the Puja Mandap at Sheikh Bazar with a 350 kg Chandi Medha for their Goddess in 1991. Another 26 Puja Mandaps have since followed with Chandi Medhas made of 250 kg to 500 kg pure silver.

Fada Ni Khichdi Recipe

Dalia, moong dal, vegetables and dry spices have been used to make this healthy, tasty and easy Fada Ni Khichdi Recipe. Moong dal and rice khichdi recipe is similar to traditional khichdi in terms of taste and health. It is great for morning breakfast or you can eat it early in the day and have it with pickle in the evening.

Khichdi recipe is well known all over India and is eaten as a quick meal. Khichdi is usually made for various purposes, such as when you have indigestion or need a light meal. Fada ni Khichdi, a porridge-based Gujarati khichdi known for its simplicity and taste, is an example of this.

To be honest, I could have done a lot without Khichdi. I feel that the combination of rice and moong dal is heavy when I compare it with straight rice and rasam. This is just my opinion and many people will disagree. I would once again like to add my unique perspective to this Fada Ni Khichdi Recipe. In fact, the grain contains less sugar than rice and is therefore lighter. As a result, it is an excellent recipe for dinner after a substantial meal. As mentioned earlier, I serve it with pickle for breakfast.

Now, I would like to introduce some important hints, ideas and varieties for making phada ni khichdi. In this recipe I have used tomatoes, carrots, peas, potatoes and other vegetables. It can be made very quickly and easily with just onion and peas. Since it is made from moong dal, it thickens when cooled, so adding water to it makes it thinner. Make sure to heat it before serving. Using this recipe you can also make other types of khichdi with rice, semolina or rava.

Diet Chart for Diabetes

Introduction Diabetes is a condition in which the sugar levels in the blood rises above the normal level. Sugar levels get increased in the blood due to decreased insulin production and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Increased level of sugar can damage the heart, eyes, liver, and other organs of the body. Ayurveda deemed Diabetes as Madhumeha which states “Sweet (honey like) urine”. Increased blood sugar levels cause excess secretion of sugar in the urine as well. The signs and symptoms of diabetes include excess thirst, increased frequency to pass urine, digestion problems, inflammatory lesions, wasting of muscles, diarrhea, fever and necrosis.

Causes of Diabetes Diabetes is a Kapha disorder developed due to imbalance of Kapha dosha. The imbalance can occur due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle habits such as excess or lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, consumption of sweetened food items, unrestricted intake of yogurt, etc. Imbalanced Kapha Dosha decreases the digestive fire (Agni) which further slows down the body metabolism.

Diet Chart for Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease or Mutravikara upadrava/ prameha upadrava is a condition of abnormal functioning of the kidneys. Usually, kidneys filter wastes and excess waste material from the body which further get excreted via urine. But in the condition of chronic kidney disease, the kidney becomes incapable of filtering the waste and excess fluid from the body and accumulation of fluid begins in the body parts.
