Sona masuri rice - are the US prices heading lower?

By  at 00:05    No comments
Its been months that the Californians (& other US states too) have been paying heftily for "Sona Masoori" rice. The price of 20 pound bag jumped from somewhere in the vicinity of $20 to $42. Yeah, that's a jump of more than 100% in just few months.

We are so used to increasing prices of Indian groceries in the US, but this jump in rice prices was substantial. (one relief was that the price of Basmati did not jump much). Anyways, I started noticing that the prices of Sona Masoori rice is heading lower a bit! yeah heading lower .. I did see the prices around $25 per 20Lbs for brands like Ravi, Udupi, etc.

Checkout the prices on these online store too; you can see that the prices have come down.

Ugadi or Yugadi - Kannada and Telugu new year

By  at 22:40  ,  No comments
Yugadi or Ugadi (ugadhi) falls on Chaitra Shudhdha Paadyami or the first day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Chaitra. This generally falls in the months of March or April of the Gregorian calendar. While the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh use the term Ugadi for this festival, the people of Maharashtra term the same festival, observed on the same day, Gudi Padwa. Sindhis, people from Sindh, celebrate the same day as their New Year day Cheti Chand. Ugadi is celebrated on a different day every year because the Hindu calendar is a lunisolar calendar. The Saka calendar begins with the month of Chaitra (March/April) and Ugadi marks the first day of the new year.

On Ugadi day, people wake up before the break of dawn and take a head bath after which they decorate the entrance of their houses with fresh mango leaves. The significance of tying mango leaves relates to a legend. It is said that Kartik (or Subramanya or Kumara Swamy) and Ganesha, the two sons of Lord Siva and Parvathi were very fond of mangoes. As the legend goes Kartik exhorted people to tie green mango leaves to the doorway signifying a good crop and general well-being.

The celebration of Ugadi is marked by religious zeal and social merriment. Special dishes are prepared for the occasion. In Andhra Pradesh, dishes such as "pulihora", "bobbatlu" and preparations made with raw mango go well with the occasion. In Karnataka too, similar preparations are made but called "puliogure" and "holige" or "obbattu". The Maharashtrians make "puran poli" or sweet rotis.
