It's nice to know that I am not the only one. Our fathers would have made for doting grandfathers and our children miss out on that.</i><br /><br /><b>Valli</b><i>, the Street Faire is a lot of fun. I am looking forward to going this Friday, too!</i><br /><br /><b>Happy Cook</b><i>, hold on to that memory! It is very sweet!</i><br /><br /><b>Sunita</b><i>, hugs to you!</i><br /><br /><b>Shyam</b><i>, I knew you would get it!</i><br /><br /><b>Sanjeeta</b><i>, thanks! It's good to have you around!</i><br /><br /><b>Anjali</b><i>, I just read your post and my heart goes out to you. I know exactly how you feel.</i><br /><br /><b>Sra</b><i>, I haven't eaten a tadgola for ages! We had a ceremony on the 12th day. I think some communities have it on the 13th day. Honestly, I don't remember what was prepared as it was very traumatic. I remember cooking vats of stuff for my mother's 12th day and feeding fat Brahmins, after which the leftovers were fed to cows. Anger was the main emotion on that day - at the rituals which made no sense and the 'fear' that they tried to embed in our minds. I would have preferred to give the food to the hungry but no, we had to give it to the cows, who are supposed to eat grass and not human food. I let go a long time ago and it's better that way.</i><br /><br /><b>Cynthe</b><i>, it is very simple and this recipe is a shortcut to all the boiling down of milk that is required for a true kheer. Those flavors are richer but we like this a lot, too.</i><br /><br /><b>RV</b><i>, yes! And food trucks like StrEAT Chefs are changing the nature of street food from the same ol' hot dogs and pizza to fresh and flavorful food!</i><br /><br /><b>smoochkins</b><i>, let me know if you try it and what you think of it. Feel free to share the recipe but please remember to attribute it to IFR. Thanks!</i><br /><br /><b>Sonia</b><i>, so glad you delurked! I've been using agave nectar wherever I can in my daily cooking. I don't use much sugar anyway - not even in our tea or coffee, so this works really well for us. It doesn't interfere with the main flavors of the dish as it does not have a strong flavor of its own - that's the part I like best!</i>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-11871918197458942552010-07-11T23:41:12.995-06:002010-07-11T23:41:12.995-06:00I'm deeply sorry about your loss, Manisha.

And MUCH better than American rice pudding. <br /><br />Haven't made it myself, so am happy to see your recipe is simple with ingredients we have in our kitchen. Will give it a try. <br /><br />On missing loved ones ~ these memories linger. Thankfully, the pain softens over time. I have no doubt he would admire your keen intelligence & creativity, be happy you & D. love each other, and adore Medha.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623982848667834846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-81770350192834008802010-07-10T11:14:27.768-06:002010-07-10T11:14:27.768-06:00Hugs to you, Manisha!
One of the food memories I ...Hugs to you, Manisha!<br /><br />One of the food memories I associate with my grandad is how he used to cut mangoes and refrigerate them, and skin chilled tadgolas (palm jelly) for us. I don't think I can ever eat tadgola without remembering him. Your words reminded me of something else - that the 13th day (or whichever day) ceremony conducted after a person's death is supposed to include their favourite dishes in the feast - at least I think I heard so.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-49813563258368110962010-07-10T10:32:05.459-06:002010-07-10T10:32:05.459-06:00Manisha yes I understand you.
