    Shravan is a month full of festivals. It generally falls in calendar months of july/ august / September according to tithi. We celebrate many important ones during this month. Most important ones are 'Nandhi satain' which comes after Nag Panchami.‘Vaddi Satain‘ comes after 7th day after Rakshabandhan. It is also called as saatam aatham or basoda. This  is an important Sindhi festival. We celebrate this festival just before Janamashtami.

     This day we pray to Goddess Jogmaya or Sheetla mata for good health and prosperity. Traditional flat breads from Sindhi cuisine like Mitho lolo, besan koki and chothe are cooked a day prior to thadri. Mitho lolo/gur jo lolo is the Sindhi mithi roti. This sweet flat bread is also called lola. It is one of the main recipes prepared for the festival. It is very similar to Punjabi tikde.

    To get the nicely shaped flatbread,the butter/ghee added with the flour is important and also the flatbread should be evenly flat so that its cooked evenly on the surface.

    FAQ

    How to we observe Thadri?

    We observe ‘Thado’.It means we consume cold food that day. As a mark of respect, we do not light the stove that day. Food is cooked a day earlier. Thaar maata Thaar is a popular folk song with this festival. Mothers sing this prayer for the safety of kids from deadly diseases like small pox and measles. We do a chanda on toddlers while singing the song. We first apply sindoor or vermillion on small lolos and put it a sieve on their head. Later sprinkle some raw milk on them.

    What do we cook for Saatam aatham?

    Apart from Sindhi lola with jaggery there are many special recipes which are eaten cold on the next day.They are sanna pakoda. No one can make double fried pakodas like Sindhis do. Chauthe,besani, Sindhi koki,dal parantha. We also make matho, dahi boondi, sev ki burfi, satpuras, nijji palak. We also eat Dahi bade. Other milk based sweets like peda, kheer etc are cooked. Traditional Sindhi recipes of masala and sweet flat bread are best made on a cast iron pan. The breads are rustic and spread looks delicious. You can make this when you travel too. It has natural sugar from jaggery which is also a good source of Iron and the goodness of Ghee for calcium. Also, good for toddlers to chew while teething in small amounts.

    Conclusion: Mitho lolo is a delicacy which intricately weaves traditions and taste in a beautiful union.
