Nag Panchami Special पुरणाचे दिंड | PURANACHE DINDA

How to Prepare Dind / Whole Wheat Flour and chickpeas dumplings in instant pot

Hello Foodies,

       Naga Panchami is a traditional festival, on this day worship of snakes observed by Hindus throughout India. Panchami is the fifth day among the fifteen days of the moon's waxing and/or waning. This special day of the snake worship always falls on the fifth day of the Hindu month of Shravan (July/August). (This year nagpanchmi is on 15th August 2018). Hence this is called Naga

Panchami. On the Nag Panchami day, cobras(Naga), and snakes are worshipped with milk, sweets, flowers, wheat flour and jaggery lamps(कणकेचे दिवे), Wheat Kheer(गव्हाची खीर) and this puranache dind(पुरणाचे दिंड). In villages, the anthills(वारुळ) where the snakes are thought to reside, are searched. Incense is offered to the anthill as prayer along with milk (a traditional story of folklore to feed milk to the snakes) to ensnare snakes to come out of the anthill. After this, milk is poured into the hole in the anthill as a libation to the snake god.
            Nag Panchami is around the corner and to celebrate this nag Panchami I am sharing here Dind recipe. This traditional Maharashtrian sweet recipe is a steamed wheat flour wrap and chana dal and jaggery stuffed sweet dumplings recipe. There is tradition or ritual that, on Nag Panchami day, no deep frying is done by those who celebrate the Nag Panchami festival. So mostly steamed food such as dind(पुरणाचे दिंड), wheat flour lamps (कणकेचे दिवे), wheat kheer(गव्हाची खीर), bajra lamps (बाजरीचे दिवे), patolya, etc. are cooked on Nag Panchami. You need a steamer to make this all steamed recipes. I have used instant pot(electric pressure cooker) to steam Dind. You may use an idli steamer or modak steamer or pressure cooker too. So let's start with the recipe.

6. Add the cooked chana dal into the strainer to drain all the water. (You may use this water to make 'Katachi Amti').
7. Heat a pan and add cooked chana dal and jaggery, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes or till the mixture thickens, while stirring continuously and mashing at regular intervals.
8. Now, turn off flame, cool Puran or stuffing slightly, mash it using a masher or place it into the grinder and grind it to make excellent consistency.

To Serve Dind :

My Take :

1. You may cook chana dal on the stove top in a pot or in a pressure cooker until it is soft or need to cook chana dal about 2-3 whistles.
2. If you don't have a banana leaf, you can use a cloth, or you may grease the plate with a little oil.

Hello Foodies,

      Naga Panchami is a traditional festival, on this day worship of snakes observed by Hindus throughout India. Panchami is the fifth day among the fifteen days of the moon's waxing and/or waning. This special day of the snake worship always falls on the fifth day of the Hindu month of Shravan (July/August). (This year nagpanchmi is on 15th August 2018). Hence this is called Naga Panchami. On the Nag Panchami day, cobras(Naga), and snakes are worshipped with milk, sweets, flowers, wheat flour and jaggery lamps(कणकेचे दिवे), Wheat Kheer(गव्हाची खीर) and this puranache dind(पुरणाचे दिंड).

Incense is offered to the anthill as prayer along with milk (a traditional story of folklore to feed milk to the snakes) to ensnare snakes to come out of the anthill. After this, milk is poured into the hole in the anthill as a libation to the snake god.
            Gavhachi kheer is a traditional, authentic Maharashtrian delicacy, mainly prepares on the occasion of Nag Panchami. It is prepared from cracked wheat and to make it sweet, I have used jaggery. Preparing it in instant pot is really a very easy and simple task. You have to pour all the ingredients into the pot, close the lid and cook for 10 minutes, that is it. This is healthy as it contains lots of nutrients like fiber and Iron. Cracked wheat fits well in a low-fat diet. Here, I have used cracked wheat to prepare this kheer, you can use whole wheat if you have it. But I find it is a time-consuming process, so instead of whole wheat, I have used broken wheat. Let's start with the procedure.

3. To make a vegan version you may use coconut milk instead of cow's milk.

Raksha Bandhan is observed on the month of Shravana, which typically falls in August and this year it is on 26th August 2018. On this day, sisters of all ages tie the rakhi, around the wrists of their brothers, ritually protecting their brothers, receiving a gift from them in return, and traditionally investing the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their possible care. So to celebrate this Rakshabandhan festival make your own beautiful but straightforward looking rakhi adding a personal touch of love for your brother.
         This Quilled Rakhi is made with 3mm quilling strip with an excellent color combination. I have used hot glue for pasting the components and tread. This Raksha Bandhan, send your brother a unique Rakhi.
