Shev Kurmure and Lassi
When I was a kid many evenings me and my neighbor in Fort, Preeti would spend time together in her balcony. Her mother, Kaki used to supply us with eatables. Mumra - sev or Shev Kurmure was a timepass snack. One day I was just chilling out and had no particular plan for the weekend when I made this Shev Kurmure and Lassi.
I remember we used eat one grain at a time to make it last long and one of the things we did was poke each grain of puffed rice with 1 grain of shev ! What a timepass...Any one looking for killing time can try it.

For Lassi take 1 cup thick curd in a glass add sugar or substitute as much as you permit yourself. Beat it with a hand blender once for 2 mins. Then add as much water as you want, depending on thickness of your choice. Beat it again for another 2 mins. Serve chilled or add ice cubes on top.
we Bengalis eat a lot of murmura or muri as we say it. love muri with chanachur (bombay mix). love this idea of poking one muri with one piece of sev. great way to kill time :-)
ReplyDeleteAs kids, we would be given peanuts and jaggery--we'd spend hours sandwiching tiny pinches of melting-in-the-heat jaggery between the peanuts and then eat them one at a time! I love how your posts always trigger off an old memory--thank you!
ReplyDeleteSayantani I love how many things familiar are given the tag of Bombay and they suddenly bring a smile to my face when I try to figure out what that is. Here in Blr, Khari is called Bombay salt leaves me bambozaled !

ReplyDeleteChaitrali in this post I have just combined shev and kurmure. Jhaal muri is more complex. It is a bhel with a sprinkling of mustard oil you get in Kolkata.
