categories; gulgula (bobra), bidiya, dhoodh fara, bafauli, kusli, balooshahi and khurmi fall in sweet categories.
during the hot and arid summer days.
The tribal and village population enjoys delicacy brew made of small, creamy white fruit of a local tree called Mahuwa.
During my search for cuisine from Chhattisgarh, I landed on many sites but one that I kept coming back to was this one. I liked the way she has talked about Chhattisgarh and the awesome cuisine.
