Makki Ki Roti and Sarso Ka Saag to Peas and Oranges… How Indians celebrate winter through food

Winter is a festive season in India, and food plays a significant role in the celebrations. From traditional delicacies to modern interpretations, Indian cuisine offers a range of winter specialties that cater to everyone’s taste buds. Luxury catering services are often in high demand during winter, especially for weddings and other special occasions. It is mainly the food at Indian weddings that makes the celebration feel complete and winter is no exception. With the sun a little softer, the breeze a little cooler, and markets loaded up with freshness of colourful vegetables, a fall in body temperature enhances the appetite and sensation of hunger. At the end of each year, India recognizes winter through its diverse cuisine culture, creating a warm and comfortable delight. Sarita Bazaz, the first woman entrepreneur of one of the top catering companies called Thee Food Affairs, offers a multitude of seasonal delicacies that can be consumed and savoured in this cold weather to stay warm and healthy.

Throughout the winter, oranges are regarded as slices of the sun on the plate and are often available in large quantities at a lower cost than during the off-season. Peeling a fresh, juicy orange or pouring a glass of orange juice can be a quick way to add a unique flavour and a boost of health benefits to winter meals. Fresh oranges are also high in fibre, calcium, potassium, and vitamins.

Sugarcane is also quite pleasant in the winter since it thoroughly hydrates the body, which may be depleted as a result of less water consumption during the colder months. The most adaptable winter veggies include carrots, beets, and tomatoes. They can be eaten in a variety of ways and give numerous health benefits when included in the diet. Given that they are high in several health-beneficial components, they are potential substitutes for cold-weather nutrition, whether eaten raw or juiced.

Winter is all about savouring fresh, juicy peas pods rather than the frozen peas we intake in the summer. These peas have significant vital nutrients, especially during this time of year. Cooking deliciously healthy food with great body-warming effects, such as the evergreen bajra, is a good option in the winter. In addition to being warm, it is popular because it digests slowly, making one feel fuller for longer periods of time. Make the most of this gluten-free meal in whatever shape you prefer—roti, khichdi, khakra, or fritters.

Jowar, Makki, and Ragi are three winter millets that are effective for one’s health. As these millets and grains have therapeutic potential and promote well-being, incorporating them into a healthy diet can be a wise choice. These millets are commonly known as ‘Poonkh’ and ‘Hudha’ in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where they are mostly grown. Along with the differences in names, each culture has its own way of presenting and consuming them. In Gujarat, they are seasoned with lemon and a few masalas before being topped with a type of sev, a regional specialty. At the same time, they are usually served with ‘thecha,’ a dry peanut chutney in Maharashtra.

When discussing food culture, how can sweets be overlooked? In the winter, delicious milk-based treats are always more popular. Daulat ki chaat is an ethereal treat created with milk and dew from a cold winter moonlight night. Even today, traditional makers of the delicacy work through the night to whip up large pots of milk into a delicate froth while richly garnishing it with nuts and silver foil. The end product is a decadent yet light dessert with a nutty flavour and frothy melt-in-your-mouth softness. The dish is even more popular in Kanpur and Banaras, where it is known as Malaiyo and Makkhan, respectively.

Our society has been conditioned to be knowledgeable of all seasonal changes and to look for opportunities to celebrate them with the suited food. It would be simple to identify many more winter delicacies, but it would be crucial to try to comprehend how the social and cultural landscape around us, at both the micro and macro levels, responds to the external environment through regional meals.

Here wishing everyone a well-fed winter!

Series: Condiments from around the world

Part 1: Thecha

This condiment is made by the season’s best red chillies and cloves of garlic which are tempered in oil along with pieces of dry coconut, sesame seeds, jaggery, tamarind or imli and salt as required. This is tempered for 8-10mins till the chillies and garlic become a little tender and the dry coconut gets a beautiful golden-brown colour and then blended before serving.

There’s also a variant of this thecha which is made using Green chillies but the process and the other ingredients remain the same (except the addition of a little piece of ginger in the green one).

Tip1: make sure to soak the tamarind in water for about 15 mins to enhance its flavour if using the dry ones!

Tip2: Always wait for the mixture to cool down before blending to avoid horrible consequences😂

This spicy yet an all time favourite condiment finds its Origin in the rural state of Maharashtra though it is enjoyed even in parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. it is enjoyed mostly with the traditional Bhakri or a flat bread made of red millet(bajra), sorghum (jowar) or even finger millet (ragi/nachni) and is often enjoyed with a dollop of dahi or yoghurt by the side to soothe the burning sensation caused by the red hot chilli peppers (Pun intended XD). A spoonful of thecha is enough to create a havoc in your mouth and mind you, this is certainly not made for the weak hearted;) But speaking from personal experience, there is nothing a plate of Zunka, Bhakri and Thecha cannot solve!

[purvanchaltadka]

My effort is always to make my kids eat desi khana along with their favorite food , to keep it balanced. In that sense they know what our culture and traditions are , this will make them carry the craving to eat desi in their adulthood as well. So, two thing's happen here one is they are eating healthy as every thing is local and second getting connected to the roots . On my plate is Makke ki roti, mixed saag, ground nut thecha with dry garlic chutney. #desikhana#purvanchaltadka #foodphotography #foodie #foodpicoftheday #homemade #makkekiroti (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLlhm7F6ej/?igshid=6735deu14ttp

Green chilli thecha recipe

Green chilli thecha recipe 

With traditions over the years, Maharashtrians consider their food to be simpler than others. Notably, Maharashtrian cuisine includes mild and spicy dishes. You will find wheat, rice, jowar, bajri, vegetables, pulses and fruits as dietary staples. Don’t miss the spicy and healthy green chilli thecha which is a must in Maharashtrian main dishes and snacks!! Let’s learn more.

About Maharashtrian hirvi Mirchi thecha 

Rustic, spicy, nutritious, green chilli thecha is much loved in Maharashtra and is usually eaten with bajri bhakri or roti. Also called hirvi Mirchi thecha, this chutney is made in less than 10 minutes and has a long shelf life if stored properly.

It is a spicy side dish prepared in Maharashtra state. There are many ways to prepare it, but the main component is always green chilli peppers. The variations come in the form of peanuts, onions, coconut and garlic, often tempered with oil and other spices such as cumin, sesame seeds, hing and grated coconut.

Traditional recipes mean that all ingredients are crushed or ground in a metal or wooden mortar pestle. Some modern kitchens rely on grinding in a food processor. Thecha is served with pithla bhakri or eaten with plain bhakri or added to any principal preparation.

Maharashtrian hirvi Mirchi thecha recipe 

Choose chillies according to your preference. If you like mild hot thecha, always prefer mild green chillies that are mild in their spice level. You can use any type of chilli that is readily available to you.

For the first time, you will make green chilli thecha, then you will be completely attached to it. The pungency of ground green chilliesand extra garlic punch makethis an instant favourite. You can have this thecha to serve as a side dish, or add to simple everyday meals, and Vada Pav, Sabzi, Curry, Pulav, and more.

Ingredients: 15 green chillies, chopped, 10 cloves garlic, chopped, 1 tsp oil, 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp asafoetida, Salt to taste.

Method: First, grind green chillies, garlic and salt coarsely in a mortar and pestle or blender. Keep the ground chillies in a bowl.

In a pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add mustard seeds and once they start spluttering add asafoetida and switch off the flame. Pour this tempering over the green chilli thecha and mix well.

Serve Maharashtrian Green Chilli Thecha Recipe along with thalipeeth or bhakri and any other beverage.

Regional variations of hirvi Mirchi cha thecha

When you travel through different regions you will find variations of the same cuisine and the same is the case for thecha. As you travel across Maharashtra, you will find that this chutney is made from:

Green chilli and garlic only

Peanuts, green chillies and garlic

Coriander, groundnut, green chillies and garlic

Coconut, coriander, groundnut, green chillies and garlic

Green chilli, cumin, onion, garlic and salt.

Traditionally, thecha is ground by hand using a mortar and pestle, but you can also make it in a chutney grinder. Once you have tried this thecha, nothing will satisfy you when you crave something spicy. So you can modify this recipe to suit your palate and that of your family. 

Health benefits of green chillies

Today everyone wants to know about the virtues of eating any kind of food. If you are aware of the benefits of eating green chillies, then you definitely won’t miss out on the thecha. Despite different colours, smells and tastes after cooking, it provides many health benefits such as:

It is a natural source of iron

Know that green chillies are a rich source of iron. And it should be included in your diet plan so that you never feel weak or tired due to a lack of essential iron. This is one of the best ways to consume iron naturally. People who have iron deficiency should not miss it.

It’s great for a healthy diet

There is no doubt that green chillies are best for those who are focusing on a healthy diet. These spices have zero calories. These peppers can also speed up your metabolism, and green chillies can increase the speed by up to 50% for about three hours after eating.

Helps to lower body temperature

Capsaicin is found in green chillies and is known to reduce body temperature. Capsaicin is a compound that gives chillies their pungency, especially in the seeds. It helps the body by stimulating the cooling centre of the hypothalamus in the brain.

It improves the texture of your skin

Mild spicy green chillies are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene. These properties are great for helping you follow your skin care regimen. It helps to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Make sure it is not exposed to heat, light and air as this can put you at risk of losing vitamin C.

Good for heart health

Green chillies are undeniably best for heart health. This may help reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and the chance of developing platelet aggregation. It may also help increase fibrinolytic activity—the ability that helps prevents blood clots from forming responsible for heart attacks or strokes.

How to store green chilli thecha 

It is important to store it well so that your green chilli thecha has a fresh texture. Stored properly, it is ready to be added to any cuisine, served as an accompaniment, and engenders the taste buds. If you want to store it safely, follow the tips below:

For longer shelf life of green chillies thecha, store in a zip lock bag.

How Indians Celebrate Winter Through Food

With the sun a bit softer, the breeze a little cooler, and marketplaces filled with fresh and colourful vegetables, a drop in body temperature stimulates the appetite and experience of hunger. Every end of the year, India celebrates winters through its diverse food culture setting up a warm and cozy delight. We at The Food Affairs bring to you a range of seasonal ingredients that can be consumed and savored in this frigid weather to stay warm and healthy.

Oranges, regarded as slices of the sun on the plate throughout the winter, are typically available in huge quantities at a lesser cost than during the off-season. Peeling a fresh juicy orange or pouring a glass of orange juice can be a simple step to add some distinctive flavor and a boost of health benefits to winter recipes. Fresh oranges are also an excellent source of fiber, calcium, potassium, and vitamins.

Sugarcane is also quite refreshing in the winter as it completely hydrates the body, which may be dehydrated owing to less water consumption in the colder months. Carrots, beets, and tomatoes are the most responsive winter vegetables. They can be consumed in a wide variety of ways and provide many health benefits when integrated into the diet. Being rich in different health-beneficial compounds, they are great choices for cold season consumption, whether eaten raw or juiced.

Instead of the frozen peas we typically eat in the summer, the winter is all about savouring the fresh, juicy pea pods. These peas offer excellent nutritional advantages, especially during this season of the year. In the winter, cooking a deliciously healthful dish with strong body-warming benefits, such as the evergreen bajra, is a strong alternative. In addition to being warm, it is highly favoured as it digests slowly, thus, making one feel fuller for longer durations. Make the most of this gluten-free food in any form preferred to be consumed as—roti, khichdi, khakra, or fritters.

Jowar, Makki, and Ragi are three winter-specific millets that improve one’s health. These millets and grains are full of medicinal value and encourage well-being, so integrating them into a balanced diet can be a wise choice, aiding a healthy lifestyle. ‘Poonkh’ and ‘Hudha’ are common names of these millets in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where they are mostly cultivated. Along with names being varied, the manner in which they are presented and consumed in each culture is also very distinct. In Gujarat, they are seasoned with lemon and a few masalas and then topped with a variety of sev, a specialty of the region. At the same time, in Maharashtra, they are commonly offered with ‘thecha’, a dry peanut chutney.

How is it possible to overlook desserts when addressing food culture? Delicious milk-based desserts are more common in the winter. Daulat ki chaat is an ethereal delicacy made with a pot of milk and dew from a chilly winter moonlight night. Even today, in certain regions of northern India, traditional makers of the sweet work through the nights to whip up massive pots of milk into a delicate froth whilst richly garnishing it with nuts and silver foil. The outcome is a sumptuous yet light dessert with a nutty flavour and a frothy melt-in-your-mouth softness. The dish is also more well-liked in Kanpur and Banaras, where they are referred to as Malaiyo and Makkhan, respectively.

Our culture is nurtured to be mindful of all seasonal changes and find occasions to celebrate them with food. It would not be difficult to list many more winter delicacies, but it would be invaluable to try and comprehend how the social and cultural landscape around us, at both the micro and macro levels, responds to the external environment through regional meals.
