My menu had the quintessential Khichudi(a mixture of rice, lentils ,veggies and spices),cabbage with peas,Labda(a funny name but dont get mislead by it )a delicious,aromatic& sweet-salty mix of vegetables like squash, aubergines and potatoes,seasoned with five spices and cooked in mustard oil),tomato chutney(I also added dates,rasins and cherries to the mix), Begun bhaja(sliced aubergines marinated in turmeric and salt and panfried in mustard oil) and the dessert was khejur gud paish (rice pudding cooked in palm sugar)...
Shubho Bijoya everyone !!

Hope you have someone to celebrate the festival around you, even if it is away from home.

hey Michelle ,

In India different oils are used in different regions depending on wahts available ..in the north mostly groundnut /sunflower oil ..in the west they use coconut oil and down south as well ..In the East they use Mustard oil...
all the above oils have their distinct flavor and taste ...
Yes I do my husband and my sister and her fmaily plus freinds around here that celebrate festivals here with me ....
palm sugar is avaialable at international stores ..maybe a chinese market ...Where are you at ?
i mean i have my husband and sister around here to celebrate festivals :)
I recently became acquainted with Indian fare. I am now addicted. I was wondering if you have any chutney recipes you would care to share.
