 Since the last few days, I have been binge watching YouTube videos of some Odiya Vloggers in the US. There are some really entertaining folks who sing & dance & go about their lives while sharing ups & downs with us (their subscribers). Sometimes they get too personal but it's the age of Social Media so I guess that is perfectly fine if the creator is OK with that. These folks that I watch are mostly girls ..Actually they are all girls.. hmm.. time for me to expand the scope a bit?? may be !!.  Anyways, one of the girls, lives in the eastern part of US & has a HUGE Odiya friends circle who meet almost every week for a party or picnic or potluck and she makes these yummy (almost) contemporary style Odiya food recipes that it makes me want to go back to the east coast & make her my sister. Yes, I used to live there & the first chance I got I left because of the harsh winters. I just could not bear the mere thought of getting up at 7am in the morning ...

A tale of Lord Jagannatha and Dahi (Curd / Yoghurt)

-
A very famous story about lord Jagannath (like all his stories) is related to Dahi (Curd or Yoghurt).  Interested? Here goes the story and then a delicious Odiya recipe using yoghurt and egg-plants which is an inseparable dish in every Odiya kitchen. The Story: The tale is from a time in Odisha, more than 600 years ago. Gajapati (King Of Puri) Shri Purushottama Deba was to be married to princess  Padvmavati  of Kanchi.  Every year, Lord Jagannatha has his car festival wherein he, his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra ride their respective chariots to go and visit their maternal aunt's place. Before the chariots start out for the trip, Gajapati comes and cleans them with his broom which was made of silver bristles and a gold handle. When the king of Kanchi heard that the king of Puri (Gajapati) brooms, he got furious and said "Chaandala haatare mu jhia debi nahi" {Meaning, I will not wed my beloved daughter to a man who brooms chariots}. Gajapati could n...

Masala Atta Chakuli

-
Image
"Chakuli" in Odisha comes in mainly three forms: Regular Chakuli - Made with Dosa batter (Rice + Urad Daal) -  Maida Chakuli - Made with Maida a.k.a Refined All-purpose flour And finally Atta chakuli - Made with "Atta" a.k.a Whole wheat flour Atta Chakuli is usually a form of sweet pancake in Odisha. It is a very good breakfast usually made on week days where making roti/paratha is either boring or time consuming. Growing up, I was not a fan of the dish though because it is sweet & as a kid I did not have a sweet tooth. I still don't & I think I am blessed because sugar kills (like literally).  This recipe was a result of three things... - I was sick of eating rice & poha (basically gluten-free) and wanted something different but should have tons of veggies 🍅 🌽 🌶  - I wanted something that is NOT sweet - I did not want to make roti (I am not very good at it & the Rotimatic is resting in the garage) Because of the above mentioned reasons, I sta...
