I am so happy today.. When you make something good enough like your mom you obviously feel proud. I was missing my Mom and our Diwali rituals.. in particular ANNAKUT and its bhog.. I am not sure how many know this but just after Diwali we celebrate this day like a New yr, and this is celebrated in many communities, celebration of Lord Krishnas victory over Indra. In short, Chappan bhog is the food for that celebration. With time 56 bhog came into one dish called kadam bhog which includes all the vegetables you can think of along with Rice and Green moong Daal. Raddish and Spinach are also the main ingredients. I never had the courage to try it, thinking its very difficult and I have always seen my family doing hours of preparation for Annakut together. Those were the days.. sigh! This is not the only dish mom use to prepare. There are many items along with this.. but kadam bhog was my favourite. Finally I tried that today and it looks and tastes delicious. Might remind you of vegetable kichadi but tastes nothing like it. It has the blend and balance of all the vegetables and it tastes very very Yum! Sorry for the long post, but after Diwali, this is my first post and I am super happy with it.. Love you Mom and Love these little mythological stories that teach us to stay grounded always! :) Enjoy
