Yesterday fresh preparations were going on to prepare Metkut (मेतकुट) , for my friends daughter who is having fever … so thought of jotting down for all of you who miss mother’s recipe.
It is called as Metkut, a tasty & healthy yellow powder with aroma that one will never ever forget when it goes with soft rice + Ghee + some salt (for taste).
My childhood memories are there with this aroma and taste .. specially that was given to us when we were sick with temperature …
so here is my mother’s recipe in her own handwriting 🙂 over the years my wife will be using this & u may use it too 🙂 ……
