For this recipe, Dudh diye lau, would it work if I used some other type of flour, like samo, shingada or rajgira, instead of the plain flour (I think you have used maida or all purpose flour)? I prefer to use gluten free flour whenever possible. Though I will try it with one of those & let you know how it turned out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-71276498122238285332010-07-19T01:40:39.338-04:002010-07-19T01:40:39.338-04:00Sounds like the perfect vacation :)

BUT there were ice cream parlours and an indulgent uncle used to send all of us cousins off for a tour of the parlours - imagine, parlour hopping in those days!!! <br /><br />And the local library called Hobby - we used to take 3 books per child, finish all 15 books in one day and then go back the next day for some more!Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-42431638519376308752010-07-14T15:33:53.319-04:002010-07-14T15:33:53.319-04:00GOLDEN ICE CREAM?

OMG, Patna?<br /><br />Dudh diye lao aamaar Mum banaye, in fact all summer she used to make that and say - pet dhanda thakbe. Uff. <br /><br />My summer vacation pet peeve was one-page "handwriting" we had to do everyday as part of the "holiday homework". And I never did. And then on the last couple of days I had to make up. So you can well imagine what my "handwriting" looked like!PreeOccupiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976093401508848605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-64052207030430392662010-07-14T04:08:49.563-04:002010-07-14T04:08:49.563-04:00looks delicious,.summer vacations,..umm dont ask ,...looks delicious,.summer vacations,..umm dont ask ,...:-) reminds me of so mny things,..notyet100https://www.blogger.com/profile/12079779480407514805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-67036043529839031752010-07-13T23:10:58.694-04:002010-07-13T23:10:58.694-04:00amra jokhon joint family te thaktam tokhon dudh di...amra jokhon joint family te thaktam tokhon dudh diye lau khetam, tarpor kono din khayini janina keno. may be the cook we had made it and ma never did. now I remember :-)<br /><br />I wish the vacation was nothingness to the brim.. my childhood vacation sounds very much like yours, esp. the orange ice cream bar. added to that was the climbing of guava trees and reaching out for jamrool from our terrace with cousins. meeting friends and playing putul, esp. putul er biye and the feast ma would cook. and some rollicking ood time in mashir bari with cousins. the wee early hours of the mornings were filled with long bike ride with a friend and then gangar dhare hawa khete bosha :-)<br /><br />ekhon my days are just to taxi the dds around for their endless activities they are enrolled into. morning and evening every single day .. not a vacation for me.

He-Man and Funtime on TV, lots of playing lagori, chor-police, lagdi and ghar-ghar, cycling with friends in the morning, 50 paise "pepsi" (frozen sharbat in a long plastic bag), trying to grind mehendi from leaves of a nearby mehendi plant, aiming stones to knock down kairi and badam..
