Treat yourself to lip-smacking Punjabi fare in Mumbai

The festival of Lohri on 13th January 2018 a day before Makar Sankranti, stands for joy and merrymaking as the harvest season is around the corner. In North Indian homes, family members and friends make a circle around the bonfire and offer five edible items - Rewri, Popcorn, Til, Moongphali (peanuts) and Jaggery to the fire. This is done with the intention of invoking bounty in that home and wishing away scarcity. Peanuts, corn flakes, til, gajak and jaggery are then shared and eaten. Of course, Mumbai does not celebrate this festival with the same fervour as North India but hotels and restaurants have taken to spreading the festive spirit with special menu offerings, giving diners a taste of Punjab. Choicest Punjabi dishes are on offer which one can relish this season.
