Harsh's Writings - Dhokla and Eiffel Tower
Here is a piece of my mind in the last fortnight! Do give it a read and tell me how good or bad was! I really appreciate honest feedbacks and my letters are all about saying things straight from the heart, without any filters! Hi! It has been a long time since I wrote last. I feel that the newsletter is not getting any responses as the replies are fewer. I write for myself but then I also can write it in my mind and not type it so laziness and procrastination helped me to delay it. So what are Dhoklas? Dhoklas are light and fluffy snacks that can be made from Chickpea flour or gram flour or any other flour one can think of. They are usually eaten with condiments called chutneys that are made with garlic, tomato, and chilli. Sometimes, they also are savoured with mint coriander chutney. Dhoklas are essentially a Gujarati snack and if you know a Gujarati, you know that they can eat pretty much anything at any time and dance at any time of the year if the beats are of bamboo. ( Say haalo if you get the lame joke).
Another form of Dhokla is what my mom makes. She uses Idli and shallow fries by adding some sesame seeds on it. This is a good part of my breakfast and I remember enjoying them everytime I have had them. And of course, mothers are mothers. They would not let you be hungry even if you are millions of miles away.
As I eat Dhoklas for my snacks, I see my friend’s photo of him standing near the Eiffel tower. I think about it and realize how the two different things signify cultures that are poles apart and have very less in common. I do not know much about Paris. I know that pastries and pastry making is an exquisite art there and Paris is renowned for that. Eiffel Tower is often considered to be a very romantic spot and a hot destination for proposals. So here we have Dhoklas, the perennial hunger evading food and the Eiffel tower, the romantic hotspot.
