This Weekend, Join The Taal Festival To Sample Forgotten, Heirloom Recipes

'Tis the season to spot taal  (aka palmyra palm) in bazaars and gorge on taal-made delicacies at home. But if you're living alone or haven't mastered the fine skill of scooping out taal flesh to make goodies out of it, then this festival must definitely be on your weekend to-do list. DRCSC (Development Research Communication & Services Centre) is organising Taal Utsav this weekend to feed you all sorts of palm-made dishes and to remind you of the rich flavour of this homegrown indigenous fruit (which often gets lost under the sheen of glorified exotic fruits that aren't even available in our country!) Be there to gorge on interesting innovative dishes made from ripe palms (think taal kheer, taal patishapta and more) and go back in time and try some fantastic traditional recipes that are slowly getting lot in time.
