One of the treats was wholesome Sarson ka Saag made using greens that were freshly plucked from the fields. Another satisfying delicacy was Kadhi, prepared from desi cow's milk. Rajma, cultivated in their own fields, was also featured on the platter. Following that was Sidu, which is a kind of Himachali bread which typically made using wheat flour and is filled with dry fruits and poppy seeds.
The platter also included red rice, which the woman proudly says is grown organically in their fields without any polishing. Accompanying the feast was a chutney made from sarson ka saag, mint, coriander and garlic. Next, the woman presented a bowl of desi ghee, homemade from the same milk used for kadhi. Lingdi ka Achaar, made from wild vegetable lingdi, added a unique flavour. The ever-popular Makki ki roti was also part of the platter. To sweeten the deal, a bowl of gud (jaggery) was provided with the savoury indulgences. According to the caption, these mouth-watering delights can be found near Jana waterfall in Manali.
