The Diary Game - 17.02.2024 : Last Day Of My Vacation And Shared A Traditional Cake Recipe With My Today's Diary Post.
Dear Diary,
Look at this cute cat. Such a cute cat sat in the sun on our balcony. This cat sits in the sun on our balcony every morning. Today there was another small cat with this cat but the small cat left while I was photographing. My niece and I sat with the cat for a while. It has become like a member of our family now. Yesterday this cat was given milk in a cup. He went away after drinking the milk and after a while came back with some more cats. I was very happy to be able to take such a beautiful photography of the cat.
I take a short walk outside. I try to take a shadow picture while walking. There are some trees near the gate of our house and I took shadow pictures of those trees. I wanted to take a nice shadow picture but it didn't turn out well. This is my first attempt so it didn't go well, hopefully I can take better shadow photos in the future.
Then I go to my neighbor's house. I went and heard that two kids of their goats were born today. The kid goats are nourished. I saw two chicks and took pictures. The mother goat looked slightly ill. A goat can give birth to three to four kids at a time. But this goat gave birth to two kids. Those who reared this goat thought that the goat would give birth to three kids. But they were happy to see two healthy baby goats.
My mother will make pitha for me today. So she brought rice flour in the morning to our house help aunt. She will make the traditional merapitha of our village. Many of you must be familiar with it and many are unfamiliar. Below I present to you some steps to make this pitha.

First, the rice flour should be lightly fried. Then make dough with hot water. Here my mother added some ingredients which are salt, turmeric powder, onion paste, ginger paste, green chilli paste and sesame seeds. These dry ingredients are mixed well with the rice flour in the beginning.

My mother divided the pithas into two parts and put some dry ingredients in one and left no other ingredients except salt in the other. So here you can see two colored pitha. One pitha will be without spices and the other with spices.
Then, with the help of hands, you have to make a pita with that rice flour dough. In the picture below you can see how these pithas should be served. In this way, they should be steamed and boiled.
The last step is to boil a pot of water and then put the pithas in another pot. The upper pot is perforated at the bottom. The upper pitas are boiled by the steam of the boiling water of the lower pot through these small holes. They take a long time to make but are delicious to eat.
My brother bought three kilos of tomatoes today. I don't know about the market for tomatoes. We don't eat raw tomatoes much but these tomatoes were brought from our neighbours' vegetable gardens. Their tomato garden has yielded the best tomatoes this time. Some time ago I picked some tomatoes from their vegetable garden. Their tomatoes were very tasty so my brother ordered three kg. I collected the tomatoes from their house and brought them to our house. After bringing them to our house, I photographed them.
After reaching the bus station we put our luggage in the bus locker and as we had enough time in our hands we went to a nearby shop and had tea. Drinking tea makes me feel a little relaxed. Shops at bus stations are always crowded. My bus left my city for Dinajpur at 9:30 PM. After a long journey of 8 hours I reached Dinajpur at 6 am. And that's how my day ends.
