I have always loved food.
This is my first book, and I hope it is not my last. Because, quite honestly, it doesn’t represent the food that is on my table every day. Most of the food is familiar to my family. However, this book explores the food-related traditions and customs unique to the Kokanastha Brahmin family to which I belong.
It has taken me more than ten years to gather information from family and friends. As my publisher assured me, this is more anthropological than a recipe book.
It is a compendium for those interested in food and folklore.
And for my clansmen who crave the taste of their past, this is specially for you.
Pure vegetarian food that will bring back memories of
- Varan bhaat
- Methkoot bhaat
- Ambaadichi bhaaji
- Watanyachi usal
- Ambyachi dal
- Paalakchi dal
- Bharli vaangi
- Karlyache chaktya
- Aambyachi aamti
- Chirote and Baasundi
- snacks, festive treats, fasting foods, chutneys, pickles and much much more.
