** I have made a few peja posts recently where I have mentioned how much my family loves to have steaming hot rice porridge / peja for dinner, with a dash of salt and a teaspoon of fresh homemade ghee. The mail I received some months back triggered posts on peja which I never ever thought should be included in my blog too. Well, I am thankful to the person who mailed me not only for acknowledging my work but advising me on this simple meal and that I must post them with different variations. I have posted in details about preparation of peja elsewhere, so again, I am going to share the link here for those who want to know the procedure which is very simple. Do read through that post that covers the importance of peja.
** Coming to this post, it is a very old picture of mine when I had started posting in food groups. Like I said, I never thought anybody would be interested in peja combo or would enquire for the same, so when I started my Blog, I only included the recipes accompanying this peja in the picture. It is only recently that I retrieved this from old files, so that I could post the combo in my Blog. The picture is a old one, somewhere clicked about 4 years ago, when I was a novice to photography, not that I am good now, but I am started then and have come a long way, I guess, so do not go by the picture. The fish pickle is simply awesome and goes well with peja, so does the other ones. Posting links to all below, choose and pick the one’s you wish to try.
