Why is this food important to your people? When is it traditionally eaten? (Is it festive, ceremonial, daily, or symbolic?). What does it represent culturally? How does it reflect the lifestyle, values, and history of your people?
This recipe is traditional in my family, a heritage that is coming from my ancestors to me and now I have forwarded it to my kids. This yummy rice can be eaten at any time but to take full health benefits of the recipe right time to eat this recipe is early morning in winter season. It should be consumed consecutively for a week or at least three days. It prevent from cold in winter, it makes body warm and improves digestion. It act as pain reliver and give soothing effects. It increases body strength. Due to these health benefits it is used in our family once in winter season at morning around 5-6am.
What memories do you personally associate with it and the price of the ingredients in steem and local currency?
When I was a kid, at night we got the knowledge that fenugreek khichri would be eaten the next morning. My father woke up when the kichri was ready. We all are siblings with closed eyes in blankets. These memories are still alive in my mind. When my kids do the same, it reminds me of my childhood. The hot rich flavor is still in my mind. I tried this today; its flavor led me to my childhood memories. It is served with clarified butter that makes it more delicious and rich and also enhances its health goodness.
This is the price list of ingredients in local currency and steem.
| Ingredients | Price in Pkr | Price in Steem |
|---|---|---|
| Rice | 100 | 6.4 |
| Fenugreek seeds | 15 | 1 |
| Clarified butter | 250 | 16.6 |
