Lakshmi Charu ( Tarvaani)

Hi, friends, as I have already wrote in my  blog about healthy and yummy Lachim charu in Telugu version. For the benefit of  viewers of other languages , I thought of coming this Lachim charu in English also.

     This is the special charu famous in Godavari districts and in some places in Telangana remote areas. This Lakshmi charu is a traditional  dish which focus from our ancestors.

     A mud pot is kept in every kitchen in their house for the purpose of  this Lakshmi charu in some places of Godavari districts and in Telangana remote areas.
Before you cook the rice, save the drained water used for washing the rice. Save the water in the pot for 2 to 3 days. During process of fermentation, protein gets adds  to the already existing  Vitamin B  in the water. Now the water is rich in proteins and vitamins.

    Take required quantity of water (tarwani) add vegetable pieces like brinjal, bottle gourd etc. let it boil some time till vegetables becomes soften. Then add green chillies, red chilli powder and tamarind pulp , little sugar or jaggery and salt to taste.
Again boil it for 2 to 3 minutes. Switch of the stove.
Add popu to it.

      Now the  healthy and yummy yummy chary is ready.

My Note

Keeping the pot in the house saves you  during the emergency and during un excepted guests arrived.
These days this dish is available in 5 star hotel show the new generation about this old dish.
It ferments well in summer. Mostly this is made during summer time.

            Serve this with garam garam rice  along with mudda pappu and papad.

  1. Great selection of an age old traditional recipe from our ancestors. Unfortunately, the design of the page here makes it rather impossible to read the recipe...reminding me of a saying that good things are hard to get !. Please modify the page to a lighter background or darken the fonts. Again, great selection and please continue to write on similar hard to find recipes and keep the celebrated Andhra tradition going down the generations.
