Eat the Ancient Foods

I am Jayanti. I remember the ancient traditional food we used to eat. Back then, pakhaḷa was a staple, and we'd often make kañji. These weren't just meals; they were a way of life, deeply connected to our local environment. We'd gather ingredients like drumstick leaves and small fish, making the most of what nature provided around us. This practice kept us nourished, healthy, and connected to our heritage. It's a simple wisdom: eat what's from your land, what your ancestors ate.
