AAJ MAHALAYA 💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮 Fo

AAJ MAHALAYA
💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮

For Bengali, the festivity starts right from the Mahalaya, the day announcing the ending of “Pitru Paksha” and beginning of “Devi Paksha“. Mahalaya signifies the arrival of Agomoni or Goddess Durga, who symbolizes the “Adi Shakti“, the eternal power, the primordial cosmic energy.

Mahalaya is also the beginning of Akal Bodhan (the untimely worshiping of God) , the awakening of Devi Durga, invoking the Goddess on Earth before time. For Bengalis the the day revolves around oratorical narration of “Chandi path” in the baritone voice of Birendra Krishna Bhadra at the dawn in the akashvani, the beautiful mellifluous “Jago, tumi jago, jago Durga...”or shlokas and hymns from Devi Mahatyama scriptures to invoke the Goddess on Earth to save the world from the demon Mahishashur.

Another important aspect of this day is that the eyes are drawn on the idols of the Goddess Durga on Mahalaya in an auspicious ritual known as “Chokkhu Daan”, invoking her soul in the idol.

It's been almost 6 months that we are surviving without househelp, and finally last week everything crumbled down. I was almost on bed rest because of my slip disc back problem, my 4 yr old become so frustrated that she started throwing unnecessary tantrums for no reason at all.
And we were like - Corona please go now. It's enough.

PLUM TART So the other day we were learning about

PLUM TART

So the other day we were learning about a new fruit, for a 4 yr old I never thought I have to revise through my botany classes.

Finally we settled down for plum tart, ignoring the request of French classic Plum Tarte Tartin because I was in no mood for cooking a full 9 inch cake.

I love tarts. Well I adore tarts. Given a chance I can make a tart out of anything. They are so versatile, so simple and off course so delicious.

RECIPE - ⏩
I have used a regular short crust pastry - flour, sugar and butter. Since I had some leftover nut powder, so I have replaced half of the flour with that. Also added some orange zest because I love to flavour my pastry crust that way. And off course be generous with butter.

Filling is simple - melt some butter, flavour it with nutmeg or star anise whichever you have. Lil bit of cinnamon will also go. Then add enough honey. Whip it up till smooth. Soak the plum slices with this mixture.

Pulse the crust ingredients and press them on greased tart pan. Keep it in fridge for 10 min. Blind bake the shell.

Cool down the tart shell completely before arranging the thinly sliced plums over it. I had used 3 plums only. . Sprinkle brown sugar.
Bake for 20 min 180C .

Serve warm.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all . May he bring love

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all . May he bring love , peace , happiness and prosperity to all.

In Frame - made some Ukadiche modak, the steamed modaks.
Making this with hands, need practice.
Shapes were not perfect, but they were tasty.

Growing up, we never celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi at home, it was always a community affair, all 11 days. But with times, many things have changed, and so as this year situation too.

Doing it for my kid, because she loves "Pujo Pujo". She will decorate Bappa with her hand, will offer the prasad and will play the ghanta throughout the Aarti.
This makes her happy and seeing her enjoying this, we started a micro celebration at home.

Moreover, I think these small small celebration, festivals will help her rooted to her culture. That's important to me.
