We not a religious!! In fact I do not fast or go to the temple or even follow the religious calendar of different festivals. Many a times I forget that for a particular festival I have to make a something. So last minute I try to make something just to keep the girls informed that this is done thing.
Similarly on Mahashivratri the only thing I knew was Bai is not coming. I have to make the chapattis (something I hate) and I happened to ring my SIL Smita. Smita had the entire day planned what she would be cooking etc. She happened to mention Shingade chya Pith cha Shira! Shingade is Water Chestnuts!
Well a foodie does need a new name in food does she not?
Even as she was telling me I knew that this will be my entry for the Blogging Marathon, what better than the month long Marathon, in the “traditional theme”. So one of the dishes that I was planning got promptly dropped and Shingade chya Pith cha Shira was installed in place.
Well before we start let’s go through the usual noises (for no one is going to bother about it but statutory warning have to be in place) about this being a rich shira, the amount of ghee and milk is mind-boggling. The shira is a milk guzzler! Add milk to the Shingade chya Pith cha Shira and it’s like adding water to sand all gone…! But it’s delicious! Try it!

pradnya says
even i ade this a couple of times during one of the vrats, i like the simple taste it has as compared to the regular sheera
Vaishali Sabnani says
Archana this is rather unfair..we get warnings, even before we try...I am sure we can at least taste..oh ya the calories!! Well when such dishes tempt you, just eat one tsp and get satisfied . But how does one make that little...khao peeyo..jalsa karo!
