Sanjha Chulha
It's been less than one month since I started "Ricky Da Dhaba" and its already time to re-name it. This is not because Dhaba was not successful but because I got some responses from bloggers that were interested in sharing recipes and so the idea stuck to me...
What is Sanjha Chulha?
I am sure quite a few may know the meaning of Sanjha Chulha, because it's a very common punjabi term and also there used to be a tele-serial with the same name on DD. It's one of the most beautiful traditions of Punjab. It was started by Guru Nanak Dev jee in Pakistan part of Punjab. It was the tradition of langar or community kitchen. It was that langar tradition that led to Sanjha Chulha (Common Oven).
In those days (and in some small villages even today) generally men would go to farms while women will do chores at home (although a lot of women in Punjab used to do farming too). In the evening, all the women would make some kind of daal/sabzi at their home but not everyone could afford a chulha (earthen oven or kinda tandoor). So, all the women will take atta (wheat flour) from their home and cook all the rotis together. While cooking rotis they will also discuss everything under the moon. This made it an ideal community place to exchange gossips and stories from all around the village. After making rotis they all will take their share and goto their respective homes, away from the gossips and closer to reality.
So, this blog will be the Sanjha Chulha for blog-world. Anyone can post recipes at this blog by just sending it to me by email. Just like there would be one person who would maintain the Sanjha Chulha, I will maintain this blog. Anyone can email me the recipe with their name and if possible blog address. I will try the recipe just to get timings and everything right and post it in 15-20 days because I don't want to skip the tradition of giving hints about the next recipe. In case I didnt mention, anyone who sends the recipe will get the credit for it (obviously).
So, let's heat our Sanjha Chulha and don't forget to gossip along the way...
