Lost and Rare Recipes is the go-to place when you need to find old and rare delicacies. Their latest is one such gem. Supriya Devi, the legendary actress, who was also known for her culinary skills, made a form of curd, named Sagar Doi. It was one of her family recipes made during Lakshmi Puja, which has been revived by Lost and Rare Recipes.
The recipe also comes with a well-written note that says: “When the sacred full moon night arrives, clad in a red Benarasi saree when the goddess of prosperity rides on her white owl and flies along the moonlight washed sky, calling out for them who are awake and await her arrival at night, when the aroma of ‘Bhog’ fills the households, who could think that such a sacred and holy night too could burn silently in pain? That it could be torn apart by the dilemma between three hearts? That the silent tears would be covered with a silent smile? We end this series with the special story and dish from Lakshmi Puja — Sagar Doi. It is so easy to comment on people’s lives. It is indeed difficult to live it. Let this dish be a witness to that.”
— Pooja Mitra
