BRAHMIN FOOD....

Talking of traditional food ***did you read my earlier post....****
last week my sister in law came over for an overnight stay, she is a Deshasta brahmin from maharashtra so i decided to make something that she will love and which is made traditionally in her home i.e vegetarian food.



It was my opportunity to do something purely for her, as my brother was not accompanying her.
My brother is a pure goan brahmin (so am I) who are fish eating brahmins and so, when he comes over for a visit i love to make chicken or fish for him . ( you will find many thali's which i have made only for him) as he loves fried surmai (seer fish) and also goan style chicken in coconut gravy.


So the above menu was for her, The veg thali consisted of ukadlelya batatyachi bhaji, puri, varan bhat,shrikhand, tomatochi koshambir ,papad anee lonche.
I have purposely used the Marathi words that are used for these food preparations , i would love it if those reading it would ask me what they meant or even tell me that, they have understood what i meant *** soooo.... confusing ******

I KNOW ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT .......

Mahek, It would make me so happy if you would sort of translate what the words mean into english because I do not have any idea what they mean. Any of them. Sometimes I would like to try your recipes but I do not know what many of the ingredients are because I do not know the words. But I do love to look at the recipes and your pictures.

Thank you
Karen, the FabGrandma
