Rajgira Halwa | Amaranth seeds halwa | Keerai Vidhai Halwa

Hare Krishna!

A sweet start for this year!

Rajgira - in Marathi means Royal Grain Raj - Royal Gira - grain Rajgira - Marathi English - Amaranth Seeds (Amaranth means immortal) Tamizh - Keerai Vidhai (கீரை விதை) A sathvic Halwa that can get consumed on Ekadashi day by to hose who don't follow complete fasting. Since it is not a whole grain, it is allowed in Ekadashi recipes.

This grain has highest content of calcium, rich in iron, phosphorus, magnesium. This is the only grain that has Vitamin C. Easily digestable. It reduces hunger pangs and is believed to improve eyesight. I used Jaggery. In case if you want to use sugar, then you may use upto 3/4 cup of sugar replacing jaggery.

Video Recipe is here :-

Ingredients :-

• Rajgira flour - 1 cup
• Jaggery - 1 Cup (If sugar, use 3/4 cup)
• Ghee - 1/2 cup (melted)
• Water - 2.5 cups
• Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Procedure :-

• In a vessel add the jaggery and water. Heat it till the jaggery dissolves.
• Filter for removing impurities.
• Heat a wok
• Add the melted ghee
• Add the flour and roast "ONLY IN LOW FLAME", till golden brown (approx 5 to 7 minutes)
• Add the filtered jaggery water, keep stirring without lumps.
• In medium flame cook, till it thickens and start leaving the sides.
• Switch off gas. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
• Delicious and healthy Rajgira Halwa is ready to be offered or relished.

Kailash - Warli style

A humble attempt @ Kailash in warli style

It is Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi's poetic lines which made me to try this scene in warli....

In the words of a tamizh lyricist (Pulamaipithan?) from the Tamizh film "Barathi"....

எதிலும் இங்கு இருப்பான் அவன் யாரோ?
எனக்குள் அவன் இருப்பான் அறிவாரோ?

தவழும் நதியை தரித்த முடியான்
அடியும் முடியும் அறிய முடியான்
எளிய அடியர் ஓதும் வேத நாதமாகி....

Edhilum ingu irupaan, avan yaaro! ...
Enakul avan irupaan, arivaaro?...
Thavazhum nadhiyai dharitha mudiyaan
Adiyum mudiyum ariya mudiyaan
Eliyar adiyar odhum vedha naadhamagi....

Meaning 👇🏻

The one who pervades everything...
Is He the one who is in me as well?...
The one who has the river Ganges on his head...
The one who cannot be measured from the foot to the head...
The one who is glorified by his sincere devotees in the vedas.....
