Bhoger Khichuri aar Labra

Bhoger Khichuri aar LabraPin

She is at her gorgeous best this evening. Resplendent in her new rani sari. Decked in her jewellery. Her silver owl polished to a dazzling shimmer.

I stand amidst the hullabaloo in the thakurghor. A little me lost in a crowd of grown-up faces. Busy in their universe of prayers and worship.

I look for things to do.

Back yet again to the alpana Grandma made with rice paste this afternoon.
And she allowed me to add those dots.
Isn’t it beautiful ? I beam in innocent creator’s pride.
The dots made the alpana so pretty, I am confident.
And make a mental note to flaunt to my friends in school tomorrow.

Bored with the alpana. I now try to find meaning in the sonorous chants of thakur moshai. In vain. I give up.

I must be hungry, I wonder as I smell the khichuri cooking away in the kitchen. Then longingly look at the tempting mound of gorgeous golden narkol narus Maa and Grandma laboriously prepared all morning. And unlike other days, they did not let Dada or me indulge on even one. That’s not been fair, a suddenly annoyed me reminds myself.

Dhuno smoke has engulfed the room now. I can no longer see the crowd of faces. Or Her. Or Her owl. I close my eyes and take in the intoxicating fragrance of the the dhuno. My eyes still burn though.

Someone takes the dhunuchi out of the room. I move on. To counting the marigolds in the garland that adorns Her. Yellow. Orange. Yellow again. Orange again.

When suddenly my eyes rest on the owl. I now gawk at the owl on the cover of Maas lokkhi pnaachaali.

Impatient, fidgety, restless and not finding anything else to occupy myself with, I balance myself on one foot. Then put that foot down and try to balance myself on the other foot.

Maa pokes me. Hard.
I make a face.
She returns a frown.

I know I shall not win this contest.

Grandma comes to my rescue.
What did you wish for ? She asks me in a hushed tone.
That I be rich, I respond in a flash.
You never pray for wealth, Grandma asserts.
But you told me she is the Goddess of Prosperity and Wealth, I counter.
Yes, but you never ask for riches. Grandma patiently explains with a smile. You ask for health. And you ask for knowledge and wisdom. Wealth shall follow on its own.

Grandma does not make sense at times. Especially when she speaks in arcane riddles. Leaving me to untangle the knots.
This is one of those occasions.

I run to the window.
Outside on the expansive canvass of the clear autumn sky, the pristine full moon smiles.

Bhoger Khichuri aar LabraPin

As I prepare for lokkhi pujo this evening, my khichuri and labra simmering on the stove, a stack of finely cut eggplant waiting to be dipped in batter and fried, I go back to kojagori lokkhi pujo of childhood, Grandma’s allegories and metaphors, her philosophy and parables, (which I found incomprehensible as a child, but which became more and more relevant as I grew up) her divine khichuri and labra, her legendary narkol narus and her intricate alpanas.

  • 2 tsps bhaja masala
  • 2 tbsps mustard oil

Instructions
 

For Bhoger Khichuri

  • Dry roast the moong dal till it gives out a fragrant nutty aroma and takes on a tinge of light brown. Remove from flame, rinse the dal in water and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan, fry the cauliflower and potatoes till a gorgeous golden, keep aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a deep bottomed pan, add the red chillies and panchforon, when the spices start to splutter, add the green chillies and ginger paste, saute for a minute or two.
  • Now add the roasted moong dal and rice, turmeric powder and saute for a further couple of minutes. Add 3-4 cups of warm water, the water level should be about 2 inches above the rice and dal, bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Continue cooking till the rice and dal are about 60% done, now add the peas, fried cauliflower and potatoes. Sprinkle in the salt, cover and cook over a low flame, stirring occasionally, till the rice and dal are completely cooked. Add a little warm water if it's getting a bit too dry.
  • Adjust the salt and sugar, add a dollop of ghee and finish with a generous sprinkle of bhaja masala. Serve hot.

For Labra

  • Heat the mustard oil in a pan, when smoking hot, temper with dry red chillies and panchforon. When the spices start spluttering, add all the vegetables (barring the spinach) and saute for a while.
  • Now add the ginger paste, coriander powder, green chillies, a little salt and sugar, continue cooking over a low flame, till the vegetables become tender.
  • Now add the spinach, cover and cook over a medium flame, the spinach shall release quite some water. Continue to cook till the water starts to dry up, the vegetables become soft and almost mashed into each other.
  • Adjust the seasonings, finish with a generous sprinkle of bhaja masala and serve hot.

For Bhaja Masala

  • I usually stock up my bhaja masala - 3 bay leaves, 3 dry red chillies and about a third of a cup of cumin seeds, roasted patiently over a low flame and then ground to a powder. Stays fresh and aromatic for about a fortnight if kept in an airtight container.

New blog post ❤️ And every year, around Sankr New blog post ❤️

And every year, around Sankranthi, the chitoi pithe moulds make a magical re-appearance from the hidden vaults of the windowless sunlight-starved and perennially musty and damp bhnaarar ghor (pantry), illuminated by a lone naked incandescent bulb, before being dusted, scrubbed, soaked, dried and then used in vehement anger for the Sankranti festivities, only to disappear once the euphoria of the harvest festival subsides.
A use and throw culture has still not invaded our lives and the fact that this rather inexpensive non-descript humble artifact is used on just a couple of occasions around Sankranti every year makes not an iota of difference to the magnanimous love and care it receives.

Its less than a week to Sankranti and my kitchen i Its less than a week to Sankranti and my kitchen is in manic frenzy this morning steaming some stunning Bhapa Pitha. 

I have always preferred freshly ground rice flour to store-bought ones. And my hand-free 1400w hamiltonbeach JMG ensured the rice was ground to fine flour, just as I wanted it, in a blink .
(Also do check the coarse, medium and fine grinding options available which gives us such luxury of choice -  I opted for the fine option for the rice flour)

And  here’s my recipe for the quintessential Bengali Bhapa Pitha / Assamese Keteli Pitha. 
Soak the rice for 2 hours, drain from water. 
Allow the rice to dry over a newspaper or muslin cloth to drain any excess water. 
Use your Hamiltonbeach JMG to blitz the rice to a fine powder.
Transfer the rice flour to a bowl, add a pinch of salt, mix well.
Splash a little water to the rice flour, start mixing with your hand. The texture of the dough should be crumbly and just damp enough. Splash water in small increments, we don’t want a wet batter here.
Sieve the moist flour .
Take a kettle, fill it half with water and bring to a boil.
Wrap the lid of the kettle with a damp muslin cloth.
Spread a layer of the rice flour uniformly over the cloth.
Add 1 tsp of freshly grated coconut on the rice flour, followed by 1 tsp of chopped jaggery And finish it with another layer of rice flour. Press gently, take care to not press it too hard.
Wrap with another piece of moist muslin, put the lid back on over the boiling water.
Steam for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid from the kettle. 
Gently remove the outer muslin cloth. Use a sharp knife along the edges of the lid to un-mould the pitha..

The Doulla Pithe that Grandma (Bamma) creates is s The Doulla Pithe that Grandma (Bamma) creates is sheer magic – Pillowy rice flour parcels with a tiny morsel of patali hidden in the center. Stewed in milk perfumed with even more patali gur.
Have a bite, Grandma coaxes.
And the molten patali bursts out of the shackles of the rice flour cocoon.
The fragrance of patali and the perfume of rice leave my palate enthralled.
I take another bite.

Can I taste one ? I ask as Maa’s experienced han Can I taste one ? I ask as Maa’s experienced hands effortlessly remove the pithe from the oil and immerse them in the jaggery syrup, but even before Maa can warn me, I have snatched one and bitten into the gokul pithe.
My tongue is singed.
And for that odd moment, I am all numb.
Minutes, that feel like days, pass.
And then the taste sinks in, sublime, a mellifluous symphony of grated coconut and jaggery.
This is food heaven !!!

Natorer Luchir Payesh!! A sandwich, if I can use t Natorer Luchir Payesh!!
A sandwich, if I can use the liberty of an analogy, of two luchis with a divine gurer kanchagolla filling in between. Fried to a gorgeous golden. And dipped into a notun gur perfumed payesh just before serving.
You do not want it soggy, Grandma would religiously remind Maa every time, that would ruin the fun of the dish.

This is the story of Grandma. And her fierce love This is the story of Grandma. And her fierce love for rice. Not just rice, any new harvest. Any fresh produce of the soil. Her soil. As she would proudly assert.
Wasting rice in our growing-up years was never an option. Not even a single grain. This is the labour of love. She would remind Dada and me whenever we fussed about food. This is the culmination of months of back-breaking labour. Respect the grain. Respect the farmer.

Cut to the present. My chire has just arrived. Ordered online and delivered at the doorstep by a logistics company. I am blissfully ignorant of what rice went in to prepare this chire. And the farmer shall remain an unacquainted stranger to me. As would his family who possibly helped as well.
Food has reduced, I ruminate, to being impersonal, hasnt it, the consumer and the producer separated by more degrees than my mind can decipher. The price I guess for the comforts of modern life.

Of late, Grandma would occasionally give in to sna Of late, Grandma would occasionally give in to snatches of emotional upheavals. Reminiscing more and more of her home in sylvan Sylhet.
Chachi was our neighbour. Born in Bikrampur near Dhaka. Married to a trader family in Sylhet. She brought with her to Sylhet the delectable Bibikhana Pitha from her home town. And every year she would lovingly welcome winter, the new harvest, the fragrant rice and the notun gur with her Bibikhana Pitha.
So here it is, the incredibly delicious Bibikhana Pitha. From Bikrampur in Bangladesh. 
Bliss !!!
