A thousand kilometres from Gaya, I learned to love the taste of its baskarel
Baskarel smells strong,sharp, pungent, earthy,when soaked in water. When ground and deep-fried upon mixing with gram flour, it’s crunchy, salty, a little spicy. Priyanka Bhadani reveals her younger self’s loathing,and now fondness,for the distinct flavours of baskarel.
