Peda

Description

Babadham (Baba Baidyanath Dham), Deoghar ka peda ekdum anmol mithai hae — sirf khane wala peda nai, balki bhaav, aastha aur prasad ka swad hae. Jo koi Baba Baidyanath ke darshan kare jaala, u bina peda liye ghar wapas nai jaala.

Babadham ke peda ke khaasiyat e hae ki e taza khoya, desi ghee, chini aur ilaichi se banela. Khoya ke dheeme aanch par itna badhiya se bhun la jaala ki usme se jo khushboo nikle—u ek hi baar me bata de ki e Deoghar ka asli prasad hae. Bhunawa khoya jab thoda laal-gulabi rang me aa jaae, tab usme chini milake ekdum naram, meetha, muh me ghul jaaye wala peda banela.

Is peda ka texture soft bhi hae, aur thoda sa danedar bhi, jisse khate hi muh me ek alag he prasad waala swaad feel hota hae—jaise mandir ki shanti, ghanti ke awaaz, aur Baba Dham ke aangan ki pavitrata ek saath muh me ghul gayi ho.

Shravan me, jab lakhon bhakt Kanwar yatra me Deoghar pohonchair hain, tab peda ke dukaan par line lag jaala. Gareeb, amir, local, outsider—sab log ek hi swad, ek hi aastha ke saath peda khaat hain.

Babadham peda ki sabse badi baat e hae ki ye bina milawat, bilkul desi tariqe se banela. Deoghar me Harila jaisa purana dukaan ya mandir ke samne ke prasad wale dukaan—har jagah peda ka taste ek hi jaisan, ekdam asli aur paramparik.

Jo koi Babadham jaala, u jal, belpatra, prasad ke sang-sang peda zarur le jaala. Kyunki e peda me Deoghar ke aastha, parampara aur pavitrata sab basel hae.
