I am hosting the RCI (Regional Cuisine of India) event for the month of November. A big thank you to Lakshmi of Veggie Cuisine - this event is her brainchild :) Another round of Thank you's goes out to all those gracious bloggers who hosted this event before me.
Simplicity defines the food eaten in Bihar. The staple diet is "Bhaat" (Rice), "Daal", "Tarkari" (Curry), Chutney. The diet is mostly vegetarian, although Fish and Meat is served on special occasions. "Chuda" (Poha / Flattened rice) and "Dahi" (Yougurt) and "Sattu" (roasted gram flour) are breakfast regulars. The cooking medium used here is Mustard Oil. You can find recipes here, here and, here.Some of the "Bihari" recipes listed on this blog are here, here, here, here, here, and, here.
Participation rules are very simple. Post any recipe from the state of Bihar on your blog from October 25 to November 25. Mail me your name, the URL of your post along with a picture 200 x 200 pixel size at khanagharka@gmail.com. Non bloggers, please email me the recipe and a picture.
I will do the round-up in the first week of December. I look forward to your participation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to drop me an email.
Happy cooking :)

Hi Sangeeta. I sent you my entry for RCI Bihar a few days ago, and I was wondering whether you got it alright? You see, my Outlook has been playing up, and I had some other emails that didn't arrive at their destinations, so I just wanted to check.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this!

Dear Sangeeta
ReplyDeleteYour blog site evokes memories of home - sattu , baigan ka bhartha etc. A very good effort indeed by all of you. Sometimes here in Botswana, i make them to let others know what a litti is and how we make besan ka sabji so often, which is famous as gatte in Rajasthan. Currently am into sugarcraft and cake making. Do visit the site whenever you have time. Search on google for sugarcraft will point towards 'the sugarcrafter' (http://sugarcraft-india.blogspot.com ).
Cheers !
