Paneer Peda

ॐ देवी शैलपुत्र्यै नमः

Shailaputri (शैलपुत्री), is the daughter of the Mountain King Himavat and Queen Menavati.She is the first Navadurga  and is a reincarnation of Goddess Sati. She rides on the mount Nandi, the bull and carries a trident and a lotus in her two hands. In yoga, she is seen as the goddess of the root chakra, Muladhara, and upon one’s spiritual awakening, she is said to begin her journey upwards towards Shiva, who awaits her at the top chakra at the Sahasrara

The colour for the first day of Navratri is white, symbolising purity, innocence, and serenity. Wearing white on Monday is believed to invite the blessings of Maa Shailputri, helping devotees feel inner peace, calm, and a sense of security.

Life is a journey of evolving roles, each with its own beauty and wisdom. From the structured world of academia to the ever-evolving realm of homemaking, I have embraced each phase with passion and grace. When my children settled into their own lives, I found myself with a renewed sense of purpose—to document and share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years.

During the lockdown, I realized that my experiences in cooking, home remedies, and life’s simple yet profound lessons could serve as a source of inspiration for others. Meticulously and with great concern for the palate, gut health, overall well-being, and the emotional gratification of savoring each preparation, I began crafting a collection of love-filled, cherished recipes, time-tested remedies, and stories woven with warmth and wisdom.

I write under the name "Rajeshree's Kitchen", where I share detailed recipes—the kind that provide exact measurements for ingredients like salt and water, which are often left to personal interpretation in most other kitchen blogs. Additionally, I include practical tips with clear reasons behind them, ensuring that every piece of advice is rooted in understanding and experience. My aim is to make cooking approachable yet precise, helping readers not just recreate dishes but truly connect with the joy of cooking.

This endeavor is my way of preserving traditions, sharing insights, and connecting with those who seek both knowledge and comfort in life's everyday moments.
