Tomorrow, on the eve of Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna. Thus it is evident that Janmashtami is celebrated in every Hindu family in India with great passion and honour. Not only the Temples but even at their respective home devotees observes the birth day of Lord Krishna. A celebration just cannot be complete without a sweet treat. Especially the Bengalis commemorate this day by preparing various sweet dishes like 'Malpua', 'Tal er Bora', 'Tal er Kheer' etc.
Taler Bora is one of the famous Bengali homemade sweets. The 'Tal or Asian Palm' fruit is available in the monsoon seasons; so in Bengali homes Taler Bora is prepared on Janmashtami day and offered to Lord Krishna as bhog (offering made to the Gods), "Tal er bora kheye Nondo Nache re!!" are famous lines in Bangla that roughly translate means " Lord Krishna dances in hapiness as He pops Palm Fritters. in His mouth!!" My mother and mother-in-law will always religiously make different sweet dishes out of this palm fruit during this season. I learnt this recipe from my mother and the taste of this fritters are scrumptious...
