1. Kalamrah

Kalamrah is nothing but sweet curd rice, served with lots of dry fruits and pomegranate. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. It is a thick deeply churned rice mixture that blends well with sour yoghurt. Bohris also have this notion that the mixture of overcooked rice and yoghurt should be mixed in one direction only. Although people these days use the different types of equipment that are easily available like mixers and blenders. But the real essence comes when it is churned with hand, and in one direction. This dish is a true delight and very filling too.
