Ep. 26: Cuisine you've never tasted

Published: April 2, 2020, 12:35 a.m.

Kanta Prasad is 64, but his childhood memories are vivid. If he ever discovered that an animal is going to be slaughtered nearby, he would run holding a wide-mouthed container to collect the blood, the intestines and the offal, all parts that the upper castes discarded. The rakti, coagulated blood, was and still is a Dalit delicacy. This, week Utsav talks about a cuisine most of us have never even tasted. And if you were a Dalit, would you still celebrate your cuisine if it was trauma on your plate, day after day after day? Special thanks to Rajyashri Goody (http://www.rajyashrigoody.com/) for her kind permission to use her recipe booklets for the episode.
