Radhika Kodwani/Indore : Whatever the festival may be, it is incomplete without sweetness. Although every society has its own tradition and culture on Holi, but there is also a tradition which has developed in India after independence. After the independence of India, when the Sindhi community came to India from Sindh of Pakistan, they brought many types of traditions with them from there. One of those traditions is the ghee made on Holi.
The sweets of this festival, which add color to relationships, have the color of happiness and prosperity, that is why the people of Sindhi community send them to their sisters, daughters and relatives. Gheer is also served to the guests coming to the house. This is part of the tradition in Sindhi society. The sweetness of ghee is a form of tradition. It looks like Jalebi, but its taste and shape are different from Jalebi.
Gheere is available once in a year
Social worker and litterateur Vinita Motlani told that ghee is made on Holi. Gheere starts being sold in the markets after Shivratri. He told that the taste of ghee is available only for one month in a year. The demand for ghee is high on Holi. Along with this, this taste reaches the people of Sindhi community living in Europe, Africa, America, Dubai, Oman every year.
This sweet is available for Rs 300 per kg
Shopkeeper Dilip Wadhwani said that when he came here from Sindh after partition, he also brought Sindh culture with himself. Sindhi cuisine is also there among them. Even today, Sindhi culture is being kept alive in the form of sweetness in Jairampur Colony of Indore. Gheere is being sold in abundance in traditional sweet shops. Apart from Gheer, the traditional sweets made on Holi also include Paraki and Varki Samosa. Nowadays Paraki is also called Mawa Pattis. This is also a sweet made from flour. A thick layer is made by placing several puris of flour one above the other. Then it is rolled out after cutting it into squares. Inside this, either Karachi Halwa or Mawa is baked, sugar is added to it and its stuffing is done like Gujhiya. After this it is fried. Similar is Varki Samosa i.e. Mawa Samosa. Mawa is filled in it and after frying it is also put in syrup. This sweet is sold for Rs 300 per kg.
