Kanji Vada ( Moong dal pakora)

At the start of spring season, the festival of Holi or sometimes called festival of color  is incomplete without some scrumptious dishes shared with family and friends. Kanji Vada is one such dish that is savored during the festival. It is a spicy drink made with spices such as mustard seeds, asafoetida, red chili etc, served along with vada made from moong dal. It is fermented, sour, tangy and spicy at once, is an excellent probiotic, good for health and can easily be made at home.

Pitod Ki Sabji ( Rajasthani Curry)

Pitod ki Sabzi is a traditional Rajasthani dish. This is similar to gatte ki sabzi but more delicious and tastes similar to paneer ki sabzi, but does not use any vegetable or paneer. Rajasthan is a desert state with little vegetation and that is why people are accustomed to using fresh vegetable alternatives. If there are no vegetables in your fridge and you still want to make something special then do prepare Rajasthani Pitod ki Sabzi.

This time of the year is celebrated with different names in different parts of India (Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Uttarayan, Magh Bihu and Poush Sankranti etc.)

Being winter time, sweets made out of jaggery are made and distributed among family and friends. I tried laddus using puffed rice and jaggery and it came out very well.
