Kashi Chat Bhandar at Godowlia Chowk is the first shop in Varanasi for us to have Chura Matar. On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, I was at my friend’s house. Landlady visited and prepared Chura Matar for us. And later in the afternoon hours, Khichdi with ghee and Baingan ka Bharta. Chura Matar, Khichdi, and til (sesame) food items are specially prepared on Makar Sankranti. Delicious it was. Thank you – said I.
