As a young bride married into a family in Bihar, Pallavi Nigam Sahay was mesmerized by the vast repertoire of Bhojpuri bhansa ghars or kitchens. This is her tribute to the region’s traditional recipes – the legendary Litti Chokha; Choora Mattar; Bihari Halwai-style Mutton; Machli Ka Sarsonwala Jhor; the delectable Bhujias; the unique Parwal Ki Mithai, Thekua and other fantastic sweets. The Bhojpuri Kitchen is not only a celebration of several recipes, lest they are forgotten in the future, but also the region’s festivals, like Chhath, which is yet another reason for the kitchens to come alive with food most befitting the Gods.
