Hello Nisha,
Welcome to our BIF family. 🙂
Good to know about you and your lifestyle, I have visited HP, Its like one of the best place of India.
Thanks for Sharing it with us. 🙂
Hello Nisha,
Welcome to BIF…
Well, what I can say about Himanchal Pardesh. I have been to Himanchal during my children when my father posted at Pathankot. Still those memories of mine are fresh. That time we visited Palampur, Dalhousie, Kangra, Chamba, Kullu, Manali, Dharamsala, Mandi, Baijnath Temple, Chintpurni Maa Temple and Chamera Lake & Dam. I have visited both Himanchal & Kashmir and believe me there is no comparison between them. Both are having blessing of mother nature.
Nice BIF.
Looking forward for more contribution from you.
Best Wishes,
JP
Thanks JP sir:-)…

Hi Nisha Sharma
Very nice pictures and presentation. I just love makki ke roti and its “choori” if you have ever tried 🙂 and Saag is something we eat a lot in winter here in Lahore and I like it very much.
Thank$
Thanks a lot for praise.. Yes i know “choori” 🙂 .. We call it Churma as well.. 🙂
‘ MoazzaM ‘Nisha Sharma
are you guys talking about dal baati churma? 😀
I think they are taking about the same 😛 ..
JK2, Finally you changed your DP, after a long time 😀 😀 ..
no… its not the same.. this is from makki ki roti… rajesthani Churma is different..:-)
Oh, is it. Then i can expect from you, someday you will share it with us, so i will confirmed that both are different. 😛 😛 .. You can find me easily here in Labs.. 😀
Hi Jitendra
Choori is something my makes with Makkai ke roti and Desi sugar and butter. Just mix these three things and crush them with hands and Choori is ready. Its very delicious and we can’t get it from market. Its something only your mother can do for you 🙂
Thank$a
Okay there is small difference between Churma and Choori. For Churma back-end is flour and of Choori Back-end is Makkai. 😀 😀
True 😀 We can make choori of flour as well but speciality is in Makkai 😀
🙂 .. Okay.. Lemme taste both things then i will decide.. BDW now i am feeling hungry.. Please send it fast to me.. 😛 😛 Don’t share it others, as i saw no. of peoples in Queue. 😀 😀
Chandra.
I tried in Google and Youtube but couldnt get the exact thing. Now I have to visit my home and ask my mother to make it for me. I will eat and you guys can enjoy the pictures which I am gona make before eating that Special Punjabi Recipe 😀
This answer is not “Helpful answer”. 😀 😀
Mouth-watering comments are not allowed in SCN 😛 .
Really…. This is mouth-watering comments..
‘ MoazzaM ‘ has to make this for us…
Now if you guys are insisting I will try to find out some picture and make you guys more mouth watering 😀 😉
Thank$
Buddy, Its been three days now. Where are the pics 😉 😛
I didn’t go my home. Will be there next weekend. Be patience dear 🙂
I ate it few years back at my friend’s house. It was bit heavy but tastes great !!
KJ
Yeah its not bit heavy infact its very heavy and we can’t eat more than a little bowl I showed in my previous comment 🙂 it containes butter which makes it heavy and probably fatty as well 😯
Thank$
Oh yeah. I didn’t ate this much. It was sweeter than my taste so had a bit only. One bowl, I can never eat that much 😆
KJ

Nitin Jinagal
This is for you 😛
Dëv Päträ and Midhun VP how about this? Is this mouth watering or not 🙂
Thank$
Absolutely….
One of my favorite food.
Its should not only for Nisha
You have to give us also…
No dev it was not for me…. it was for Nitin rather 🙂 MoazzaM did offer me at all o
Some spell mistake :
MoazzaM didn’t offer me at all 😥 🙁
Nisha you can make this by yourself. I have sympathies for those who cannot make these kind of things 😛
Thank$
Choori mei Roti, ghee and Gudd dala jata hai na… Woi hai na ye
So basically, this should be offered to Dëv directly because its not known in Bengal. Anyways, Moazzam brought this for us all. Delicious recipe actually 🙂
‘ MoazzaM ‘
we need something real next time, not just the pic 😛
Lolz 😀 For that you have to come at Wahga 😀
Ok.. will come soon 🙂
In your BIF, MoazzaM offer the food to Nitin.
That’s wrong…
Dev you can also taste it. It not for eating actually its just tasting this recipe 🙂 because you know like more outcome with less resources in comapnies I have to give its taste to many others as well 😉
Cool. 😎 .. I will just take a spoon of this food. 😉
I like to eat with fingers. Desi food must be eaten with desi style 😀
Correct.. Jab tak haath gande na ho khane ka maza nahi aata
hahaha 😆
Dev… I would share this with you all 🙂
You too can have it 🙂
Thank you brother… 🙂
Choori.. right !!
yeah right. And you are correct about its ingredients and the way we should eat it 🙂
Thank$
Yup. My mom also make it. And we call it choorma and can also be eaten with dal, but its different from that of Dal bati wala choorma. Its a must dish on Makar sankrant 🙂
I love it
Nice blog..
Loved reading it 🙂
