A litti chokha Sunday

Last evening was wonderful...!!!

There was Litti-Chokha, Dahi-vada and Rasmalai for dinner…Freinds were over for dinner(they were actually over for cooking help as well adding up to the fun) and the meal was lovely with candle lights and  Kumar Sanu music in the background…

Mitthu dear asks Mommy dear before going to bed : “Mumma can we have these parties daily…??”
That means she had fun too…  J

Liiti is wheat flour dumpling with filling of spicy Sattu mix…back in my home it was more of sattu paratha than litti….but both have more or less the same taste …

Sattu paratha has been my favorite since childhood and continues to be….This always reminds me how Nani would sit on the kitchen floor with all her ingredients for mixing up sattu masala and I was always available at the kitchen door to do some tasting effort…
Nani was a pro at sattu masala …she had some magic in her hands and we always loved her food more than Mummy…Magic of love…
Once the masala was ready and tasted by almost everybody in the house J the parathas would be made (We call it Makuni in our part of the world) ….the smell of the Makunis filling up the house on chilly winter evenings…

Wish we could relive our lives just once again…aaahhhh
