Hamantaschen (Jewish Cookies with a Poppy-Seed Filling)

The Zachariahs lived in a sprawling mansion in a leafy cul-de-sac, a brisk five minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Park Street. Senior Zac, as the patriarch had been fondly addressed by his contemporaries at the Club, had run a successful business house, one that he had inherited from his father. Benjamin’s father, Junior Zac, a stern disciplinarian, endowed with a sharp intellect and a shrewd commercial acumen, had expanded his father’s business manifold.

S (Dear Husband) and I were in Nahoum’s, the legendary confectionery in New Market, relishing our lemon tarts and mutton puffs. Baked fresh, as the elderly gentleman at the till had proudly reminded us, at our factory in Hartford Lane, just behind the Market.
The Grand Old Lady of Hogg Market, S had chuckled, still going strong at over a century. And no, he had added, pointing at the ancient teak furniture and antiquated wood-paneled glass displays that housed the the melange of tempting delights, plum cakes and pastries, pies and puffs, macaroons and tarts, she has not changed even a wee bit.
By the way, did you know Nahoum’s was established (and till date is run) by a family of Baghdadi Jews ? S had quipped. And that Kolkata at the mid of the last century just after the Great War was home to over 4000 Jews ?

That’s when the conversation had veered to the Zachariahs.

Persecuted and tyrannized in the land of their forefathers, Benjamin’s ancestors had arrived in Calcutta at the turn of the nineteenth century. Calcutta had welcomed them with open arms and before long, the Baghdadi Jews, gifted with an astute business sense, had made their mark in the burgeoning trade and commerce scene of the vibrant metropolis.
The Ezras and the Cohens were soon rubbing shoulders with the elite in the city. They dabbled in real estate and gemstones, opium and indigo, silk and spices and as their businesses flourished, synagogues for worshippers and schools for Jewish children started dotting the city.
First to arrive was the Old Synagogue on Canning Street. The Beth El Synagogue on Pollock Street, with its dazzling chandeliers and stunning stained glass windows and the Magen David Synagogue, built in Italian Renaissance style with its imposing clock-tower at the junction of Brabourne Road and Canning Street, followed.
And soon the skyline of the metropolis started pompously flaunting the most imposing of edifices commissioned by Baghdadi Jews. Ezra Mansion ( sadly, now in a pitiable derelict state :-(), the Chowringhee Mansions and the awe-inspiring Art Noveau style Esplanade Mansions happened in rapid succession.

This city was their very own, Benjamin’s ancestors vouched.
Waves of Anti-Semitism might be ravaging the West but Calcutta was still their safe haven.

The Second World War though changed it all.
The indescribable horrors of Holocaust, the mindless extermination of Jews, the birth of a new independent India with socialistic leanings and the creation of Israel impelled a lot of the Baghdadi Jewish families to introspect about their future.
Were they more secure in their Holy Land ? They pondered.

The next decade saw an exodus of Baghdadi Jewish families to Israel.
Senior Zac though had stood firm.
Calcutta was his city, there was no question of relocating, at least for now.

Cut to the present. (More on the Zacs and their Aloo Makalla and Helbeh, Mahashas and Chopped Chicken Liver in later posts.)
When a blogger friend sent a note regarding hosting a virtual cookie feast for Christmas, I knew at once what I wanted to bake.
Hamantaschen.
Yes, Hamantaschen, traditional Jewish cookies with a delectable poppy-seed filling.
Poppy-seed pockets that Benjamin’s mother and grandma would bake, as my husband fondly recollects, that we would gorge on. And that sublime taste of  poppy-seed halwa with a faint whiff of citrus enveloped in a crisp cookie lingers on my taste buds even today.

I see you frown.
Yes, I do know Hamantaschen are baked for the Jewish holiday of Purim, one that celebrates the triumph of good over evil (by the way, isn’t that what all religions profess ?), not Christmas.

But then that’s my ode to Calcutta.
A city that has over centuries welcomed all with open arms, learnt and taught, adapted and influenced.
A city where pluralism and diversity are celebrated, not derided.
A city where Hindus celebrate Christmas with the same gusto as Muslims join the festivities of Durga Pujas and Christians queue up for Biryani on the holy occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

In a world riddled with intolerance and bigotry, Calcutta stands like a beacon of hope.
Where else would Muslim caretakers protect century-old synagogues for generations ?
Where else would Muslim girls be provided subsidized education by a Jewish board ?
Where else could a Farooq and a Benjamin grow up to be the closest of friends without their families frowning ?

This is Calcutta.
Our city of joy. And hope.
An oasis of reason in a mad bigoted world.

Enjoy the festive season and if you do feel like baking some cookies, try your hand at Hamantaschen !!!

Course Dessert
Cuisine Jewish

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 2 cups plain flour sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • extra plain flour to roll

For the Poppy Seeds Filling

  • 1/2 cup poppy seeds
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 3 tbsp honey

Instructions
 

For the poppy seed filling

  • Grind the poppy seeds to a fine powder. Keep aside.
  • Heat the milk over a low flame till it reduces to almost half.
  • Stir in the butter and poppy seed powder, mix well.
  • Add the honey and raisins, continue to cook over a low flame, stirring frequently, till the milk thickens to almost a coating consistency.
  • Allow to come to room temperature. Keep aside.

For the Cookies

  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt to aerate the mixture. Keep aside.
  • Take the sugar and butter in a second bowl, use a hand-blender on medium speed to cream together until fluffy.
  • Add one egg, orange zest and vanilla extract, mix till well incorporated.
  • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet batter, mix until just combined.
  • The dough should be crumbly in texture, do not overwork the dough. If the dough feels a bit too dry, add 2-3 tsp of cold milk, 1 tsp at a time, knead very lightly.
  • Wrap the cookie dough tightly in a cling film, refrigerate, at least 2 hours. (Overnight works best)
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  • Take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator, allow to come to room temperature.
  • Roll the dough over a well-floured surface to about 1/4th inch thickness. Using a 4-inch circle cookie-cutter, cut as many circles you can .
  • Gather the scraps, roll the dough and again cut as many circles as you can. Repeat this till the dough is almost exhausted.
  • Transfer the cookie dough circles to a greased baking sheet.
  • Whisk the remaining egg with 1 tsp of water and keep aside.
    Hamantachen CookiesPin
  • Brush the circle with egg-wash, place 1 tsp of the poppy seed filling gently in the centre of the circle as shown in the picture.
  • Fold the circle in from three sides to make a triangle as shown in the picture, gently crimp the corners to ensure they stay closed, leaving approximately about 1" surface of the filling exposed.
    Hamantachen CookiesPin
  • Brush the folded cookies with egg wash, bake for 15-18minutes.
  • Allow to cool, the cookies are now ready to serve.

    Wonderful stories of a wonderful city. I miss it terribly.
    Those lanes and by-lanes filled with life and laughter where money is not the only measure of a life well lived.

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 !!!
