Khar
Khar!
or
An alkaline extract!
my mouth drools
o! momma
everytime I think of the dish
whether it is the beloved
amitar khar (i know as papaya khar),
tiyohor khar (i know as cucumber khar),
khar dal (i know as khar with lentils),
not to quit
sometimes with dry fishes or meats
dish itself is the contentment when served
i call it as 'quintessence of Assamese Cuisine'
elixir from the ashes of burnt dried banana peels
hey
when imbued
the khar dish with platter of steamed rice
portraits the way of a yarn-
'the viridescent melody muffled the white snow mountain dance in folk tales'
o! momma
khar with some rice

PithaPitha smell from the grandma's kitchenette that fills the whole abode my little heart and my hungry tummy too Pithas or Rice-cakes this are native legacies wrapped with fondness served on english platter with elate Roadside stalls Buzz with traffic's cadences Benches lined up with the critters Along the whirls of leaves and the roars of branches 'The tea tumblers cuddles the pithas'!! |
