We all have our association with Jalebi and I am sure many stories to narrate around this humble, fried and dipped in sugar syrup dessert. . Growing up, Jalebi was a symbol of Sunday. Early morning, either my father or I will go and get eight Jalebis (2 for each family member) from a small nearby shop. He knew our flavour and hence he'd customise and make the Jalebis extra crispy. . When I started going to college, Puri Jalebi and Sabzi was my usual breakfast or at times just two Jalebis were enough to fill the empty stomach. Just Rs 5 for two giant jalebis, as big as the one you get in Purani Dilli. For those of you interested in knowing the address, I used to grab my breakfast from the taxi stand near Daily Market, Ranchi. If you are from Ranchi, you know what I am talking about. . @ranveer.brar narrates the story on his blog and says... "Around 1900, Nem Chand Jain moved to Delhi from Agra with a very young wife and 50 paise dowry and started a small rabri selling business, he found himself a small stall outside the shop of a benevolent Shamsuddin. His jalebi business gave him money and popularity first in the bustling jewelers neighborhood and then in Delhi, enough to buy a 76 room haveli in Gali Khazanchi. After partition, Shamsuddin’s shop became the Jalebi shop and has stayed that way ever since." . What is your favourite Jalebi story? . #Foodandstreets #foodstories #foodstagram #history #story #jalebi #dessert #Sweet #indiandesserts #flavour #Meetha #olddelhi #Ranchi #fried #sugar #Curd #Milk #delicious #breakfast #Food #instafood #foodie #food52 #yummy #eatthis #foodtravel #explore #kahani

Rice is the staple diet of more than two billion people in Asia and many millions more in Africa and Latin America. There are ways and ways to prepare dishes using rice, boiled, parboiled, paste, fermented and so on. . Rice holds a high value in almost all the religion in India, be it involved in naming ceremonies (namkaran ) and birthday celebrations. The importance and use of rice can also be seen during It is also important during the Bhai Dhooj, Diwali, Sankranti, Pongal and so on. Major harvest festivals are celebrated and conceptualised around rice. . South Indians would say Rice is Lakshmi and Lakshmi is Rice. They'd workshop Anna Lakshmi and not necessarily Dhanya Lakshmi. Even Dhanya Lakshmi has been depicted holding a few sheaves of rice in her hand. Hindus particularly associate rice with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Paddy stalks or unhusked paddy is worshipped as embodying the goddess, from the sixteenth century till today. . #Foodandstreets #idli #sambar #southindianfood #rice #ricecakes #history #Hindu #ritual #festival #celebration #lakshmi #goddess #Food #foodphotography #instafood #Foodhistory #foodie

Aata ke laddu (The most basic and delicious one) . I totally am a fan of laddus and sharing my food and history love with all of you. . It is widely believed that the laddus, in the beginning, were not made for indulgence but rather treatment. These round balls were made to hide or mask the bitter flavours of medicine. One story tells us that laddus were given to . to teenage girls to keep their raging hormones under check. . The ancient legend of Gilgamesh mentions Enkidu’s diet as consisting of, among other interesting things, worms, figs, cucumbers, honey and bread made of sesame flour, which was again made into a roundel or a laddoo so that he could have it with ease. . What is your favourite laddu story and which one is your favourite laddu apart from Motichoor laddu. . In the next laddu story, I will explore the Hindu mythology connection with the amazing sweet ball of happiness. . #Foodandstreets #Laddu #History #motichoor #ladoo #laddo #foodie #foodphotography #Foodhistory #dryfruits #nuts #almond #cashew #plating #foodstagram #foodtalk #foodlover #Sweet #dessert #indiandesserts #desi #thursday #thursdaymotivation #thursdaythoughts

We met after a really long break, so let's call it a mini-reunion because not all of us from #MasterChef was there. . We talked about food, beverages, everything random and not so random. . #Foodandstreets #foodie #foodtalk #food52 #conversation #friends #Food #reunion #meet #gurgaon #gurugram #photooftheday #photograph #instafood #instapic #delicious #foodlover #fun #funtime
