Durga Puja celebrations are on full swing. Almost every locality is trying their best to
showcase intricate craftsmanship and detailing on the Pandals. These pandals
are a piece of art in itself where inspirations are drawn from all walks of
life. So while, one pandal is highlighting the tribals and their lifestyle ,
another one has chosen the theme Butterfly or Prajapati, as they call in
Bengali, this year. You truly have to see it to believe it that the decorations
are so life like and so intricate.
The essence of Durga Puja is an amalgamation of the culture,
artistic expression and the joy of celebration. People get dressed up in their
fineries and visit each pandal with enthusiasm and joy. Another thing
celebrated during Puja with fervour is the love of food. People enjoy the
nightlong Pandal hopping along with eating out.
From roadside stalls to high end restaurants, every place is full of
people who are celebrating Ma Durga and her arrival on Earth.
Food forms an integral and important part of the festivity.
The young ones like to put their hands on streetfood like Puchka, jhalmuri ,
momo, ice cream etc . While some others like to indulge in traditional food, in
the form of Amish and Niramish thali (Veg and Non veg).
Streetfood is high on demand at this time of the year, where
people like to just grab something on the go. Amongst others, Ice creams are an eternal favourite with
people of all ages. With the weather still humid and the scorching sun, people
love to relieve the heat by indulging in some yummy Ice cream. Keeping the
traditional flavours in mind, Mother Diary has come up with a new flavour,
Nolen Gur Ice cream. Bengal is well known for the sweet Nolen gur available,
which is basically date palm jiggery. This gur is used extensively in many traditional
Bengali sweets and other desserts. Using the same gur in an ice cream, gives
you a natural and organic sweetness.
Us being, total Ice cream lovers, found ourselves digging
into the Nolen gur Ice cream cups. The natural sweetness and the beautiful
brownish hue of the Ice cream rings traditional bells and is a wonderful way to
celebrate the season of Festivity.
It is available in pack sizes of 750 ml and 90 ml and is
priced at Rs 150/- and Rs 20/- respectively.
Happy Puja Binging
