Not the usual delicacy for the festival but the meal was feast

I know I should have written about this post few days back but couldn't because the festival was on. Weekend .Guys I am talking about the Indian Festival Basant Panchami which was on 24th of January .

Basant Panchami is a day dedicated for the Goddess of learning Saraswati .Its auspicious to wear yellow colour dress and cook something yellow in colour .

As per tradition Zarda - saffron flavoured sweet rice is cooked this day.
I thought of adding some saffron strands to kheer to give it yellowish tinge .
So the menu for the dinner was - Paratha,Nimona ,Kheer and salad.

If you are lucky to have some leftover curry the next day pair it up with Ajwain Kachodi and some pickle..Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch .

sandesh for basant panchami

Whenever I am sad or depressed I just go in the kitchen and start cooking or you can say  thats  the best way for me take out my grief, last weekend my maternal grandmother was hospitalised for grade three burn injury since then I am shaken to the core I can just pray from here that she be fine soon.
Yesterday being Basant Panchami I thought of preparing something simple for Bhog ,had been preparing sweet saffron rice since past few years but yesterday instead of that just prepared this simple sweet delicacy called Sandesh from BongMom Cookbook spaces

.I had to tell Advay about the festival ,for which goddess the sweet is being prepared and ya I did forgot my grief for some time when he was there helping me in the kitchen and asking me" mummy how will we prepare mithai ?"

Traditions have to be followed and life has to go on with a silent prayer in my heart I conclude this post .
this pic of Saraswati Pooja was sent to me by my cousin

thats all friends,wish you all blessed week ahead
