There were days when I'd wake up to the rhythmic sound of the batta grinding on the sill at Nanoo's house. Amna would be making something or the other on this age old utensil; Sill - the bigger stone on which the herbs or food was placed to be grinded and batta - the mall D shaped stone, from the help of which the #food is processed.
She would meticulously dust and wash the the aged yellowing sill before grinding the herbs on it, later to be eaten with freshly fried #pakoras. If these stones could talk, they'd tell us many a stories of food had with family and alone. Of how once the #chutney was left a little spicier to be eaten with khichdi, or that it was made with a littler extra cumin for someone who loved it that way.
This was before various food processors made way into our lives. Though, technology has made our lives faster and easier, but the #flavours that are developed by crushing and grinding #ingredients on a sill are far more enhanced than the ones achieved in a food processor.
