Morel mushrooms grow in India? Yes, indeedy. They are called Gucchi in the Northern regions.

An evocative article with a great recipe.

Vanika Chaudhury makes a Gucchi Pulao
The recipe, passed down through at least three generations, is a vessel of cultural preservation, much like the jars of pickles that line the window sills of her home.

"Gucchi, the elusive morel mushroom, is the star of this dish. It is foraged in the high-altitude regions of Jammu and Kashmir, appearing only when spring’s first thunderstorms awaken them from the earth.

The Gujjar women, indigenous nomadic foragers, are the first to find these treasures, venturing into the forests after a night of thunder and rain. They carefully gather them, their knowledge of the land and its bounty passed down through generations. The fresh gucchi mushrooms must be eaten within two days, but drying them ensures their preservation for the year ahead."

GOYARecipe for Kashmiri Gucchi Pulao — GOYAGucchi pulao is more than just food — it is a tangible connection to Vanika's family’s history, deeply shaped by the women in her family, and a living archive of her family's past.

I’m going through our events page on the Small Technology Foundation web site¹ and porting the entries there to the new version of our web site that I’m building in Kitten² and it’s depressing how many event sites have just disappeared.

I like the look of this recipe for bitter citrus as it boils the fruit first. Normally I prefer not to cook things before pickling, but makrut limes can keep their bitterness even after allowing the pickle to mature. So I am going to try it, but using the Ramdev Aachar spice mix that I spoke about a while ago.

It is quite common to use oil in Indian pickles in this way, and in fact it can help with preserving qualities (see one of the comments on the recipe).

I have a lot on this arvo but hopefully I will get to it this evening.

Gayathri's Cook Spot · Naarthangai Oorugai / Kafir Lime PickleWhen I bought home a huge batch of naarthangai / citron / kafir lime, I got two recipes from my aunt. This is the second recipe I got from her. Scroll down to the end of the post for the first reci…

Remember I posted this a little while ago, and promptly put 2 packs of tofu into the freezer with 2 marinades I had on hand?

We had one of those packs last night, steamed instead of sauteed, and it was delightful! 🏅

"Wir entwickeln mit den Ländern eine Strategie zur konsequenten Verfolgung und Bekämpfung linksextremistisch motivierter Straftaten und Strukturen." - so steht es im Koalitionsvertrag von CDU/CSU/SPD.

Politsprech ist das eine, die Praxis das andere. Wenn aber schon eine Klimaaktivistin mit Berufsverbot bestraft wird, u.a. weil sie Begriffe wie 'Profitmaximierung' verwendet, dann bleibt abzuwarten, wie die künftige Regierung mit den aus ihrer Sicht als Feinden markierten Bewegungen und Menschen umgehen wird.
