Chestnuts !

And those “kattus” are not japanese at all, but native from south-western Europe…

There are vast chestnuts forests just around my village, in southern France.

Masayo is right : they are not ripe enough, those… you can collect them when they start to fall fro the tree. Then there are many ways to use them. Whether you roast or boil them, first make a knife cut into the brown enveloppe, otherwise they will “blast”.

They have to be kept in some clean river sand and eaten within two months, otherwise they will rot. But you can also dry them in the sun and make some delicious and sweet flour with the fruit. They were the staple food in my region, since thousands of years, but nowadays people don’t like them so much.

If you want more recipes, just tell me

I have always been a serious admirer of Kumaris…for as a child I wanted to be God alias Kumari …..my newar friends told me so many things about Kumari… and as a child I cherished the dreams of being one… the red clads….that Khol in eyes…those jwelleries…
I am of the opinion that we should keep the tradition alive….Kumari being the centre of attraction…..
Enjoyed reading you as always…..
But i think you missed writing about Kumari of Bungmati….
There are four Kumaris in the valley…I assume…

Dinesh,to eat Japanese kattus( call`Kuri’ in Japanese) you must either boiled or roast those….otherwise the pellicle that is attached around the nuts is pretty astringent ,hard to peel off and give you such a bad taste.
Plus those `kattus’ seems to not to ready to consume yet….darling…it is still very green(bur-prickles)

I am glad that you guys did get `pakhaalaa’
