So its Jalaram Jayanti again and the Jikoni has been rather busy.As per my previous post, we sponsored this event at the Charleston Gujarat Samaj on Sunday 2 November 2014.
We decided to serve the traditional fare of garma garam kichdi, shak, rotla, papdi, gajar marcha nu athanu, ganthia and boondi all washed down with a glass of chhash.
So I was up at 6am starting on the rotla and then making the shak and khichdi.
I have really been blessed as things progressed like clockwork. The excitement had been building up for days as I planned for the event right down to the aarti, haar (garlands) etc.
A huge thank you to my friends for coming up with the big cooking vessels etc, you guys rock.
Oh and just to top things off, I am also posting picture of the Jalaram Jayanti cake baked by my niece Minu Vithlani from the UK for the Lohana Community of South London. She sponsors this pretty much each year and we spend a lot of time discussing details and the design. We are so grateful for technology to allow us to see each others work in progress and to be able to discuss our relevant events at great length.
