The winter festival of Lohri is here and it brings memories of Punjabi neighbours who celebrated by lighting up a bonfire in their backyard at night. They circled it singing traditional songs and throwing popcorn and puffed rice into it. We kids called it the popcorn festival. You can read all about Lohri here. And do make these awesome pinnies - they make a great winter snack!

Hi J, happy Lohri to you too. I saw Punjabis dancing for Lohri on Indian channel y'day, so colorful and beautiful. My grandparents are farmers, they do Shankranthi better than my parents. Enjoy! :)
Happy Lohri. Hope you're having a great start to 2009.
Happy Lohri to you as well!!! Down south, its Sankranti today :)
This is a very different recipe. Looks so good. YUM!
Happy Pongal!!!
Yeah, we were at home last Sankranthi and at a dinner somewhere, when their Punjabi neighbours conducted a Lohri dance and fire - we all enjoyed ourselves watching the fun from several floors above.
In Telugu, Pinni means Aunt, Mausi. The name has always struck me as amusing!
