					<description><![CDATA[<p>Matar Pao or the black vatana chaat is a classic street food dish from Ulhasnagar, my home town! It is made by cooking dried black peas (Kaala Matar/Vatana) with salt and water and the curry is generally flavoured with just pepper. A spicier version is made by adding garam masala powder by many vendors. The rustic flavours of the dish come from cooking vatana for longer duration, till soft and then by mashing some to make the gravy more thicker, homogenous and flavourful. Dried black peas take forever to cook and hence soaking these for 12 &#8211; 24 hours is a must. Also adding a little of baking soda is highly recommended or else the peas would take ridiculously long time to cook well. The Matar pao chaat is easy to assemble. Just top the pao with boiled vatana, chutneys, chaat masala (optional), pepper (optional), boiled potato cubes, chopped onions and sev/papdi/dalmoth. Check this recipe video : If you happen to visit Ulhasnagar, particularly, camp number 5, during Chaliha festival, you will spot many vendors around Puj Chaliha Sahib Mandir, selling this chaat on the carts. The chaat during those 40 days of festival is made without using any garlic or onions (in curry and in chutneys) and is usually topped with grated cabbage, boiled kachalu (Arbi) / potatoes. Pao is optional for the devotees. Also no Farsan is used for those who are observing Chaliha fast. Print Matar Pao&#124;Black Vatana Chaat Dried black peas curry and Pao chaat Ingredients 1 cup dried Black peas Salt as per taste 1 tbsp black pepper powder &#8539;th tsp cooking soda (Pakode waali soda) For Chaat 5 Pao 2 boiled potatoes 1 large onion Chaat masala (optional) to garnish Mint coriander chutney (5-6 tbsp or as much preferred) Sweet Tamarind chutney (3-4 tbsp or as much preferred) Farsan (Papdi/Dalmoth/Nylon sev) to garnish Coriander leaves to garnish Method Pick, wash and soak dried black peas in enough water for 12 to 24 hours. Change water once if soaking for more than 12 hours. Rinse well with water before cooking. In a pressure cooker add soaked peas, 3 cups of water, salt and cooking soda. Close the cooker with the lid. Cook on high heat till 1 whistle . Cook under pressure, on lowest heat for around 30 minutes. Turn off the flame. When the pressure subsides, open the lid of the cooker and check if the peas are cooked well. Pinch few peas in between your fingers and thumb and if easily mashed, the peas are ready to eat. Else, add some water, if needed and cook further. Using back of the ladle, mash some peas so as to thicken the gravy. The gravy should not be too watery. If the gravy is very loose, heat it further and if there is barely any gravy then add some hot water. Add black pepper powder. You can add some garam masala at this stage. For assembling the chaat, take a serving platter and place pao cut into bite sized pieces. Pour piping hot vatana/matar curry over it. Add boiled potatoes cut in cubes/pieces and chopped onions. Pour some mint coriander chutney, sweet tamarind chutney ( Cheat version:I took half a cup of tamarind water and added 3 tbsp of jaggery and microwaved it for 3 minutes. Added some salt, kala namak, chaat masala, chilli powder and hing to it). You can garnish with some chaat masala and pepper (I didn't use any). For the recipe of home made chaat masala, check this video of mine. Top the chaat with some farsan of your choice. Papdi, Nylon sev and dal moth are the popular choices. Garnish with coriander leaves and consume immediately. 3.5.3251  </p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When I started working on my project about documenting ancient, traditional as well as lost recipes from Sindhi cuisine, a few years ago, the biggest challenge I faced was the lack of accessible information  about the same. The limited documents that I could access, were in Arabic Sindhi, a script that I never could learn, despite of trying umpteen number of times, since my childhood. I felt stuck up. So the only way to move forward was to learn the Arabic script and to make sure that I don&#8217;t give up this time, I took up a challenge; The AlifBe of Sindhi cuisine i.e A-Z of Sindhi food. You can read more about this project here! It was a roller coaster ride and I ain&#8217;t exaggerating! The challenges I faced while trying to understand the basics of the scripts, the consonants (52 alphabets!!!!), the vowels, the formation of alphabets, the corresponding alphabets in Devanagari and Roman Sindhi, to find apt dishes, the recipes etc were immense and as if the stress was not enough, I took a plunge and started creating recipe videos too despite of knowing that I will have to learn shooting a video, to manage recording and cooking at the same time, to edit the video (biggest challenge) and to publish it, on my own.I was a nut case! Though I did end up taking a lot of help from my better half but still I managed to pull most of the things on my own. I feel accomplished! I am still not well versed with the script as the word formation is bit difficult to understand unless you are able to remember how each alphabet appears in any word depending on its position in the word. For Example look at the جهہ (Jh/झ) and its various avatars&#8230; I need to put more efforts to learn, to memorise and to understand the nuances of the language and the script but I am feeling hopeful! I cannot move ahead without thanking those who played an important part in this project of mine! A big thank you to Shobha Lalchandani Di, Barkha Khushalani Di, Amrita Lal, Surraya Kapri  and Deepak Keswani for being always there to help me understand the script, to clear my doubts and to encourage me to keep marching on. Thank you Asha Chand Di, for your &#8216;Learn Sindhi&#8217; App as it helped me in practising the alphabets in a fun way. Thank you Deepak Keswani, yet again, for creating easy to use Sindhi Dictionary and Sindhi Keyboard Winding up the project AlifBe with this handy, easy to refer list of all the dishes. Do click on the links provided, to get the recipe. Please note that out of 52 alphabets of Alif Be (The Arabic Sindhi script) I had to skip three alphabets; ظ ,ح ,ث  since I couldn&#8217;t find any Vegetarian Sindhi dish with the names starting with these particular alphabets. So here we go!!!

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Want secret recipes of Batan Papdi Chutney and special Chaat masala? Do check the video recipe : AlifBe~ 45 The 45th Alphabet of Arabic Sindhi script is ڻ  in Sindhi, ण in Devanagari and N~ in Roman Sindhi. In Hindi or Devanagari, no word starts with this particular alphabet. Same is the case with the Sindhi script and the ण appears in the middle or at the end of any word. In English it is generally denoted by &#8216;N&#8217; as in Ramayan, Raavan, Brahman etc due to  lack of proper corresponding alphabet for ण, in English. And I have picked one of my favourite street foods for this alphabet in the AlifBe series! Batan Paapdi (Papdi) or Batar Papdi It is a very unique chaat available in Sindhi dominated areas. The base of this chaat is Batan~ or the Batar, the kadak round &#8216;biscuit&#8217;, often had with tea. More popular as Ulhasnagar  special Chaat, the batan~ papdi chaat is named so, perhaps, due to the button shaped &#8216;biscuits&#8217; (or kadak pao, as some like to call it) or maybe it is a wrongly pronounced term for the batar; the makhaniya or buttery biscuits. And no, Surti batar or the Jeera batar wont work for this chaat as those are not very porous. You can find the &#8216;Sindhi Batan~&#8217; in Sindhi dominated areas in many Kirana shops. The porous batan~ have a look and texture similar to an over baked (kadak) mini laadi pao. The Batan~ are topped with boiled potatoes, onions, papdi, dalmoth and 3 types of chutneys. Each morsel of this chaat is like a &#8216;riot of flavors&#8217; in the mouth! Sach mein&#8230;batan papdi ki kasam 😉 The flavors of Batan~ papdi chaat at every eatery/cart vary a bit because of the spice blends and the chutneys used. Each vendor uses his or her secret recipes for the chutney as well as the spice mix and hence it is not appropriate to say that the following recipe is &#8216;the&#8217; recipe for making this chaat, but it is definitely one of those &#8216;secret&#8217; recipes that would help you to recreate the &#8216;thele waali batan~ papdi&#8216; sort of flavors. Commercially, most of the vendors make 3 types of chutneys for Batan~ papdi; Spicy green chutney&#8211; used sparingly in general but if someone wants the dish to be spicy, the quantity of this chutney is increased. Mint coriander chutney for the minty, refreshing flavors Tangy tamarind chutney, the star ingredient! Also, each vendor uses unique spice blend or the Chaat masala that imparts distinct flavors to the chaat. I have shared one such spice blend (like chaat masala) recipe below along with 3 chutney recipes. But if making three types of chutneys and chaat masala sounds tedious to you then you can try the cheat version i.e, 1) Use any chaat masala of your choice. 2) Skip making spicy chilli chutney. Just use that mint coriander chutney that you generally stock in your refrigerator. Dilute it with some chilled water and add panipuri masala or Jaljeera powder. But believe me, the tangy tamarind chutney is the heart of Batar Papdi and should not be compromised. It is very easy to make. You can make a base paste in bulk and preserve it in the refrigerator for few weeks.(Recipe shared below). And when you crave for panipuri or batan papadi, just use a portion of that chutney paste, add some chilled water and some tamarind paste/water. Easy? Print Batan Papdi Chaat &#124;AlifBe~45 Rating&#160; 5.0 from 1 reviews Ulhasnagar special Batan~ or Batar Papdi chaat is a unique street food made using makhaniya biscuits as the base. Ingredients For Batan~ Papdi Chaat 10-12 Batan~ 1 Big Onion &#188; of small beetroot (raw) 2 Boiled Potatoes 1 Bowl Papdi &#189; Bowl Dal moth Green Chilli Chutney (Recipe shared below) Mint Coriander Chutney Tangy Chutney (Recipe shared below) Spice Mix/Chaat Masala (Recipe shared below) Or any branded or home made chaat masala For special Chaat masala &#189; inch Dalchini (Cinnamon) 1 tbsp Coriander seeds 1 tbsp Fennel seeds 1 tbsp Cumin seeds 1 tbsp Red Chilli powder 1 tbsp Amchoor Powder 2 pinches of Ajwain (Carom seeds) &#189; tbsp Roasted Cumin powder &#188;th tsp Saunth (Dried ginger powder) &#189; tsp Black salt &#188;th tsp Hing (Asafoetida) 4-5 Cloves 8-10 Black pepper corns &#188; tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar 1-2 tbsp dried mint leaves &#188; tsp Citric acid (I didn't use any) For spicy green chilli chutney 4-5 green chillies 3-4 spinach leaves 1 inch piece ginger &#190; th cup of coriander leaves Salt/kalanamak as per taste Tangy Tamarind chutney 12-15 Mint leaves 1 tbsp Amchoor &#189; tsp Kaala Namak &#189; tsp red chilli powder &#189; tsp Cumin seeds 2 pinches of Ajwain (Carom seeds) 2 pinches of Hing (Asafoetida) (optional) 2-3 tbsp of water &#189; tsp Citric acid i,e Tatri (I didn't use any) &#188; tbsp Salt Other ingredients Lemon sized ball of Tamarind 1 cup water to soak tamarind 750 ml chilled/iced water Method Make mint coriander chutney. You can check its recipe here For special chaat masala powder, just blend the ingredients mentioned under "Special Chaat masala" to make a fine powder. Store it in a clean and dry glass bottle. Use it to garnish any type of chaat. For spicy green chilli chutney, just blend green chillies, ginger, spinach and coriander leaves. Use a little of water, if needed, to make a smooth paste. Do not dilute this chutney. For the tangy chutney, soak tamarind in water for 20 minutes. Mash well, with fingers and discard the pulp. In a blender jar, add all ingredients mentioned under "Tangy Tamarind chutney". Using a tbsp or so of water, make a smooth paste. You can store this paste in the refrigerator for few weeks and can use it to make Panipuri ka khatta paani. Take 750 ml of chilled water, add some ice too. Add the above mentioned paste and mix it well. Adjust seasoning. Can add a bit of sugar or jaggery to balance the flavors. Commercially many vendors use citric acid (Tatri) too, to make this chutney but I didn't use any. Boil and peel potatoes and cut in small chunks/ random slices. Finely chop onion and beetroot and mix together. Add some fresh coriander leaves too. To assemble the chaat, cut open each batan (refer the video). Ideally batan~ are first flash dipped in the tangy chutney but you will have to be very quick at this step else the batan tend to get too soggy and swell up. You can skip this step. Place the batan in the serving plate with the porous side up. Lay some potatoes over each batan, sprinkle chaat masala (home made/branded, any chaat masala will do). Top it with spicy chilli chutney (more if you like it spicy, less, if you like it mild), some mint coriander chutney, papdi, dal moth, onions and then pour over 1-2 ladle full of chilled tangy tamarind chutney and consume the chaat immediately. 3.5.3251 As always, here is a small tutorial to understand how to write in Arabic Sindhi!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Lor^h!! Lotus corms Not many of you might be aware of the  Lor^h/Lor^hu/Lor^hiyun (लोड्ह/लोड्हु)  from the Sindhi cuisine. Not many of you might have tasted the earthy, rustic Lor^h. Only a few of you may remember your grandparents or parents relishing these and I bet only a handful of you appreciate the flavours of these ugly looking corms (or bulbs) of Lotus plant. AlifBe # 42 The 42th alphabet of Arabic Sindhi script is ل in Sindhi, ल in Devanagari and &#8216;L&#8216; in Roman Sindhi. When I first made the list of dishes for the AlifBe of Sindhi food series, I had plenty of options for the letter &#8216;L&#8217; as there are many Sindhi dishes with names starting with this alphabet but as the project kept delaying, the list kept changing depending on the availability of the ingredients or the season. At the beginning of this month I had made up my mind that it would be Lor^h for &#8216;L&#8216; as these black beauties appear in the market for a brief period around Navratri. Lor^h are very hard to find as these are neither available online, nor in the super marts, nor in your local markets, unless there is a large percentage of Sindhi dwellers around. I literally approached every possible source to connect me with the vendor from whom I used to buy these, till a decade ago. But no one was able to help. I was about to give up! But then as the saying goes &#8221; What you seek is seeking you&#8221;&#8230;.I experienced the magic ! I received a call from the Chef Vicky Ratnani (Ah! the joy of boasting!), the celebrity Chef (no introduction needed) who also runs The Speak Easy kitchen dishing out scrumptious meals, including popular Sindhi gems like Dal Pakwan, Sindhi Mutton/Chicken, Saibhaji, Kadhi etc that you can order online. And guess what he had to discuss? Yes, the Lor^h!!! He was telling about how he spotted the Lotus corms at a popular Sindhi shop in Khar and that he was wondering how these could be used in interesting ways (Do watch his Insta video about the lovely salad he made using Lorh). I couldn&#8217;t help but crib about how I was unable to find some around. And guess what? The most humble, generous celebrity Chef, packed some for me and despite the courier chaos he didn&#8217;t give up and sent one of his staff members to personally deliver it to my home. Who does that? Well, that sweet gesture of Chef Vicky Ratnani truly touched my heart! Thank you Chef Vicky, for the Lor^h and Zillion thanks for always encouraging me to work harder!   Coming back to the Lor^h (लोड्ह), you may have read about my love for these unusual tasting corms in this post! But like many of you, even I had limited knowledge about what exactly these are. My friend Sangeeta Khanna enlightened me a few years ago, that these are the corms of Lotus or maybe a Water Lily plant. So what are corms? Some plants have underground stems that are swollen (mostly round or oval) and are used as the storehouse of nutrients/food. The plant stores nutrients in these stems, called corms, during the season. These reserved nutrients  in the corms are then used by the plant to produce leaves, flowers, roots etc in the next season. So basically corms store nutrients throughout the unfavourable season to help the plant reproduce when the right season arrives. Experts, kindly correct me if I am wrong!! Ps: A little more research lead me to the fact that these are probably known as Shaluk, the Nymphaeaceae root vegetable (also the Lily is called with the same name, I guess) and are relished in Bangladesh as well. And Lor^h are the corms of Lotus or maybe the water lily plant. Sindhi dictionary mentions it as a root tuber of water lily. These are often found on the carts along with Lotus stem and Pabhodi (Pabhun) i.e Lotus pods around Navratri and the season lasts for barely a few weeks. My father was very fond of such seasonal vegetables and fruits and would often buy these when in season. Mom would boil these with just salt and water and we would enjoy these, hot and fresh, with a dash of salt and pounded black pepper and some mint coriander chutney. Video Recipe of Lor^h: Back in Sindh, the elderly would add Lor^h instead of potatoes in many vegetable preparations. Have you ever tasted these?Do you like the Lor^h? Show the picture of Lor^h to the elderly around you and let me know if they could recognise these or if they remember eating these? Print Lor^ha&#124; Lotus Corms&#124;AlifBe~42 Ingredients 250 gm Lor^h 2 Tbsp Salt 1 lit Water Salt &#038; Pepper For Chutney 1 Cup Coriander leaves &#189; Cup Mint leaves 3-4 Spinach leaves 2-3 Green chillies 3 Garlic cloves 1” Ginger 1 tsp Cumin Seeds 4-5 Black PepperCorns &#189; tsp Black salt Tamarind (a small lump, soaked in few tbsp of water Salt as per taste 2-3 ice cubes (to retain the green color) Method Rinse Lorh with water and get rid of mud and grit. In a pressure cooker, add the Lorh. Add the water (must be above the level of Lorh) and 2-3 tbsp of salt. Wait for 1 whistle and then lower the heat. Cook on low flame for 30-40 minutes. Switch off the heat. When the pressure subsides, open the lid of the cooker and drain the boiled Lorh. Peel, cut in slices/quarters/cubes and garnish with salt and black pepper powder. Dip each slice in mint coriander chutney and enjoy the seasonal bliss! Green Chutney Pick and rinse with water, coriander leaves (along with tender stems), mint and spinach leaves. Soak a small lump of tamarind in some water. In a blender jar, mix the leaves, chillies, ginger, garlic, salt, peppercorns, cumin and black salt/rock salt. Add soaked tamarind and 2-3 ice cubes. Blend till the chutney is smooth. Stays good for 2 days in the refrigerator. If you wish to make the chutney in bulk and store it for a longer duration, then do not add tamarind. In that case, while serving, add some fresh lemon juice or beaten curds (dahi). 3.5.3251   And here is a short tutorial about how to write alphabets in Arabic Sindhi!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Chap Chatni (Chap-p chutney)&#8230; the name itself evokes a wave of nostalgia; of the times when sneaking out of the school gates to buy eatables during the recess (lunch break) was common. The carts loaded with seasonal Indian berries (Remember Ber/ Hiramoti?), cucumber, raw mangoes, fresh tamarind, starfruit etc would be buzzing with the kids buying stuff in a hurry. Of course there were Vada paos, Samose, Barf gola (Chuski), lemonade etc that our moms never approved of but were still bought with our &#8216;barely existing pocket money&#8217;! You can read more about the childhood memories of food sold outside schools, here! Another thing that my mom would warn us against, was Chap Chatni. The furious red colored, tangy and sweet, lick-able  chutney sold out side the school gates that kids were crazy about, was prohibited for us. Not only outside the school gates but at the beaches of Mumbai one can find vendors selling the chatpata stuff! The vendor would plonk a spoon full of it on the piece of newspaper and the kids would literally scoop it with the finger and lick it. Chap Chatni ( Roughly meaning &#8216;lip smacking&#8217;) is basically a tamarind dip  with basic rustic flavors. It is a kind of  chatpata preserve; thick, glazy, chunky, tangy and sweet. Something that would make the Sindhi kids of the yore drool and feel nostalgic, Chap Chatni is easy to make and if, like me, you totally avoid adding nasty food colors to your food, there is a simple tip for that too! Print Chap Chatni~ Sweet Tamarind Dip A simple tangy and sweet Tamarind dip or chutney! Ingredients &#189; cup packed Tamarind &#189; cup Sugar 1 tbsp Jaggery 1 small Beetroot or Red food color &#189; tsp Ghee Salt as per taste &#188; tsp red chilli powder A pinch of Roasted cumin powder and Amchoor (Optional) 1 and half cup of water Method Pick Tamarind, remove seeds and hard shells/fibres, if any! Rinse a few times with water and soak tamarind in a cup of hot water for 30 minutes. Mash soaked tamarind with back of a spoon. Rinse and peel beetroot and cut it into 2/4 chunks. In a pan, add &#188; tsp of Ghee and allow it to melt. Add the soaked tamarind along with the water and beetroot chunks and add the remaining half cup of water. Bring it to a boil. Lower the flame and keep mashing tamarind with the back of ladle or use a pavbhaji masher. Avoid mashing beetroot. Add sugar and jaggery and continue cooking, mashing and mixing the contents. We do not want a complete paste but a little chunkier consistency. Remove beetroot at this stage. If using food color then add it at this stage. The chatni is ideally deep red in color so you can use the food color accordingly. I didn't add any food color. As soon as you can see some glaze (10-15 minutes of cooking ), add a little of salt and chilli powder. You can add a pinch of roasted cumin powder and amchoor too for that extra spicy kick. The Chap Chatni was had as it is, but it could be relished as a dip with pakode or as slathered on bread. If you want the dip to me more tangy and less sweet, then reduce the quantities of sugar/jaggery. 3.5.3251  </p>
