Happy New Year! I am beginning this year with a sweet recipe. 'Ganne Ras Ki Chawal' or ' Raswal ' is a pudding. Among many forgotten seasonal recipes the one that stands out is Rasawal, an old Lucknowi recipe-basically a kheer made with rice and sugarcane juice. This recipe was a favourite of both Hindus and Muslims in Lucknow, and was a must have during Holi celebrations. Making it was a ceremony where women used to come together to stir large pots of sugarcane juice and rice, and carry away bowls of the unique kheer back home .Pongal festival is fast approaching and every home in Tamilnadu will celebrate this festival with sugarcane.

Try this recipe for Pongal or for any 'Thai Velli ' with any millet of your choice.
