(562)Day 7 of Navratri

Mango Peda.

             B ॐ देवी कालरात्र्यै नमः
Kalaratri is the fiercest form of Durga, dark-skinned with disheveled hair, riding a donkey, carrying a sword, and blazing torch. She destroyed demons and removed fear from the world. She represents the destruction of ignorance and evil. Devi Kalaratri rules the Sahasrara doorway (crown-process of awakening) which destroys ignorance and prepares  the sadhaka for higher awakening.
Wearing orange draws courage and positivity, dispelling negativity.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of full fat milk.
  • ½ cup Aam ras ( Mango Pulp)
  • 1 tbsp. Sugar.
  • Almonds

Method

  1. Heat milk in a non stick pan on a fast flame.
  2. Stir continuously and when water content reduces switch the flame to slow. Now add  sugar and Mango pulp together in the pan. Mix well and when the contents start leaving the pan and looks like dough, switch off the flame.
  3. When it cools down, divide dough into 5 equal parts. Roll each portion separately and gently press to give the peda shape.
  4. Garnish with Almonds.
  5. Offer Mango peda to Devi Kalaratri with love faith and devotion.

By Rajeshree Gandhi

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.
