Why We Celebrate Baisakhi and Their Special Food?
Vaisakhi, another name for Baisakhi, is one of the liveliest, most colourful, and most enjoyable celebrations in India. The celebration commemorates the first day of Vaisakh, the beginning of the solar year. Although South Indians and Assamese also commemorate this auspicious day with tremendous fervour and enthusiasm, the celebration is known in Punjab as Baisakhi. Whether you celebrate Bohag Bihu, Vishu, or Baisakhi, no Indian celebration is complete without the preparation of delicious food, with Baisakhi approaching quickly.

1. Sarson Ka Saag
Punjabi people cannot celebrate Baisakhi without indulging in a bowl of aromatic Sarson ka Saag. This delicious and nutritious saag is best enjoyed with Makke ki roti. The explanation for this is that three distinct green leafy vegetables—spinach, mustard greens, and white goosefoot (bathua)—are combined to make saag. This recipe is also a healthy choice because the varieties of green leafy vegetables are packed with vital nutrients. To ensure that the leafy green is fully safe for ingestion, wash it well with a Vegetable and Fruit Cleaner.
2. Makke Ki Roti
Without the generous help of Makke ki roti, Sarson ka Saag is incomplete. A spoonful of white butter is served alongside the well-known meal in North India, which enhances its flavour. During Baisakhi, Makke ki Roti and Sarso ka Saag also make delicious breakfast options. But, an Atta Maker and Bread Maker can assist you if you are concerned about making the dough. All you have to do is choose the appropriate pre-set menu and add the items. In a matter of minutes, you will have perfectly prepared dough.
3. Dal Makhani
A staple meal for any celebration is daal mahni. Black urad dal and rajma are used in the recipe to create a delicious, high-protein supper on the big day. To bring out the flavour of the dal, you must slowly simmer it with tomato puree, butter, ginger, cumin, and kasoori methi. By using the appropriate temperature settings, you can effortlessly make dal makhani and other slow-cooked dishes with the Fryer and Curry Cooker.
4. Chhole Bhature
A popular dish on the North Indian morning menu is chhole bhature. All you need are some soaked chickpeas and a variety of spices, including cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, bay leaf, and tea leaves. In oil, sauté tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic. To make the chhole, combine the spices with the red chilli powder, cumin, and turmeric. You’ll need wheat flour, maida, salt, oil, and some yeast to make the ideal fluffy bhaturas. Using an Atta Maker and Bread Maker, knead the dough. Cooking comes next, and a Fryer and Curry Cooker make it simple to make Chhole, fry crispy Bhatura, and have a delicious Vaisakhi breakfast.
5. Peele Chawal (Yellow Rice)
Meethe Chawal, also known as Peele Chawal, is a beloved Punjabi dish. A variety of dry fruits, sugar, clarified butter, and—most importantly—long-grained Basmati rice and saffron threads are used to make this dessert. A Rice Cooker and Steam Cooker make it simple to prepare food with grace.
6. Kadhi Pakora
The summertime main course of Kadhi Pakora, a favourite dish in North India, is perfect. The essential components for Kadhi are chickpea flour, curd, asafoetida, salt, dry chillies, and turmeric powder. These can be used to make Kadhi Pakora. You’ll need chickpea flour and chopped onions for the pakodas. Once the kadhi is cooked, add the fried onion pakodas to it. For this, a Fryer and Curry Cooker are useful.
7. Phirni
Make delicious phirni to bring your Baisakhi celebrations to a delightful conclusion. Phirni is cooked using finely ground basmati rice, whereas rice kheer is made with whole rice. One thing to keep in mind is that for the dish to taste its best, the rice must be ground finely. If you believe that grinding rice is a nuisance, you should give a Turbo Blender and Grinder a try. It makes grinding rice quick and easy. Add some rose petals or saffron threads to the dish to give it a lovely flavour and fragrance.
8. Fruity Lassi
A drink of lassi completes a satisfying supper. You can mix in some of your favourite fruits to give the traditional lassi we consume a unique spin. In addition, the beverage saves lives on those uncomfortably hot April days. All you need is mint, ice cubes, cooled water, curd, and your choice of fruits. Once all the components are added, blend them with a Hand Blender until the mixture is smooth. Present cold.
9. Dahi Vada
Enjoy Dahi Vada, a delectable snack that combines your favourite flavours and textures in a pleasant way. It is fluffy, tender, soft, tangy, and sweet. These delectable treats are made with handmade fried lentil dumpling fritters, which are then lavishly covered with a rich, creamy whipped yogurt and topped with chutneys that strike the ideal mix between spicy and sweet. My heritage and traditional Dahi Vada recipe for Baisakhi meals is a must-try at home, whether you’re searching for a delightful appetizer or a sharing party dessert.
