    Lor^h| Lotus Corms|AlifBe~42

    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 ‘L‘ in Roman Sindhi. When I first made the list of dishes for the AlifBe of Sindhi food series,…

    Singyun Tamate Mein~AlifBe~41

    ‘Singyun (सिङयूँ) Tamate mein‘ literally means the drumstick pods or sehjan ki phalli, (cooked) in a tomato gravy. It is considered one of the best dishes to have when you need to consume something nutritious and light on tummy. It is also mandatory for the new mothers to consume drumstick pods/flowers as a part of healing and nourishing ‘Viyam Ja Khaada‘ or the post partum diet for the first forty days after child birth. Though while making it for the lactating mothers (for 40 days) the recipe varies a bit , this is a very basic recipe and one can…

    Ghotyal Saag|Sindhi Style Spinach|AlifBe40

    Ghotyal Saag or Sindhi Style Spinach  Aisee Palak recipe video AlifBe i.e A-Z of Sindhi Food series is now at the 40th alphabet. I went crazy figuring out name of a Sindhi dish starting with this alphabet but couldn’t find any. The alphabet is گهہ  i.e  घ (in Devanagari) or ‘Gh’ in Roman Sindhi. ‘Gh’ as in Ghat or Ghee. In January this year when I was making a list of possible dishes for each Sindhi alphabet, I assumed that ‘Ghee’ or ‘Gheehar’ (a Sindhi sweetmeat) would be apt for this alphabet. But when I started referring dictionaries, I was…

    Khoyo~AlifBe~37

    Took a small break to rejuvenate and to cope up with the seasonal allergies and stayed away from social media to relax and heal .

And here I am today, with the 37th alphabet of the Arabic Sindhi script ; ک i.e ख in Devanagari and Kh, as in Khajur, in Roman Sindhi. And the corresponding dish…

    Qeeme Jo Lolo (Veg.) For AlifBe ~35

    The name of the dish i.e Qeeme Jo Lolo, is very misleading. Let me break down the details in a simpler way! The Name (s)! Qeeme Jo Lolo is also known as Qeema Macaroni cake, Qeema Macaroni pudding and TalleBadhi The Dish A mix of cooked minced meat and macrolyun (macaroni/elbow pasta) binded with beaten eggs, steamed/baked/tawa cooked is called Qeeme Jo Lolo. The confusions 1) The jaggery sweetened Lolo that is made for Puja rituals is called  Lolo/Mitho Lolo. I always wondered why some call it Mitho (sweet) Lolo as Lolo is always sweet. But now I know the…
