And you are right in assuming the what little rice they got was also dunked into the dal ... even raw veggies were given in alms like raw bananas, potatoes, eggplants, etc. <BR/>Everything was cooked together with a lot of water and a little salt. This is similar to the "hobisshi" food cooked in a bereaved family.<BR/>I often make this stuff ... but of course add a little ghee and have it with lebu and kancha lonka. :-)<BR/>Tastes fabulous ( if you like simple food) :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825271729069157113.post-40303731921063452152009-03-20T22:50:00.000+05:302009-03-20T22:50:00.000+05:30I think u're new blogger.

As ...Praobably the dal has another name in Bengali. As far as I know it is named as Paanch Mishali Dal. Paanch stands for five, mishali means blend and dal is lentils.. It is very good for nourishment and yummy when served with hot rice. With little knowledge of cooking, it may not be at all proper on my part to make further comment.<BR/><BR/>However, I thoroughly enjoyed the narration of author's interaction with her Dadu. The sweet memories will be nurtured and reminisced for ever. The tales narrated by Grandpa( dadu) and Grandma( thakuma) are always pleasent and at times somniferous. I had similar close association with thakuma who had repertory of stories. The tales and fables narrated by thakuma were not only entertaining but inducing rich tradition and moral values too.<BR/>Another good work from author.. keep it up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825271729069157113.post-30567282036133038982009-02-21T23:23:00.000+05:302009-02-21T23:23:00.000+05:30Welcome to Blogging!!!!Thanks for ur Contribution ...Welcome to Blogging!!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for ur Contribution to Lentils Mela..<BR/><BR/>I appreciate it..Ashwinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035236781967674239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825271729069157113.post-62006812487095196732009-02-21T18:35:00.000+05:302009-02-21T18:35:00.000+05:30Welcome to the world of food blogging, SDG!
