I remember I have tried this delicious dish but yet to have one such.March.16.2014.00.34

mom used to be innovative at her nerves. I remember there was no concept of breakfast in village life. It was direct roti in the morning hrs itself. It was extremely hot even at the first appearance of the sun rays so hot as if you can say a reminder of the noon itself. Late riser was a concept known to me only in hostel life when I was in university. There were no faculties that can be called as cooling mechanism as such barring the self made systems of shades and wet clothes etc. Mom introduced the system of breakfast when I was say in 2nd yr at my primary school at mirzapur. Dad started sowing bajra. This bajra was got cleansed by mom herself in her canned chalna which was operated by hand only with ingenious ways. The cleansed seeds were partially thrashed in a wooden container with a wooden very big and long rod having a  heavy wooden part at one end to increase its impact on the seeds. The un-husked bajra was put in a big bronze container and boiled on a slow burning wood stock in an earthen chullah. Later on it was left overnight to get cooled and turned into a cake like structure. In the morning hrs she used to mix boiled but cooled milk in a big bowl and served to us . I remember I have tried this delicious dish but yet to have one such after mom time.
