Mithe Jave
I’m from north India, from U.P (now from Delhi I must say). Raksha Bandhan is a festival of love , no matter how much we fight with our brothers whole year on small small things , but today is one day we care for each others likeness.
Mithe Jave is one essential thing we cook on raksha bandhan. Jave is a kind of a small vermicelli. During in months of july and august (before Raksha bandhan) u can see mothers and grand mothers making jave all evening by hand for rakhi.
This is for you Bhaiya, though i know they are not as good as mummy make it.
This is my entry for dear Purva and Priti’s Rakhi ~ Thread of Love event. of Purva’s Daawat and Indian Khana.
Thanks for hosting this precious event.
