WHAT IS SASRUT & ITS SIGNIFICANCE?

Sasrut is a kind of fried pancake made of refined flour stuffed with lots of nuts and studded with coconut slivers and coins on the surface of it.

Sasrut is not a recipe only but it is a culture, it is a tradition and it is a custom.

Hailing from Jammu province of UT of Jammu and Kashmir, this dogri delicacy is made during weddings only. Made during weddings doesn’t mean that it is a part of wedding stall menu.

When the bride goes to her in-laws on Vidai/Doli from her parental home, sasrut is sent along with her. Coconut and coins studded on sasrut is a symbol of prospority & it is believed & craved that she begins the journey of her new life with all good fortune.

With sasrut, she also carries Gulra and both sasrut and Gulra is then distributed a bit to all the relatives from  in laws side.

IF’S & BUT’S ABOUT THIS RECIPE

If you ask…

can we replace all purpose flour with whole wheat flour?
What if we avoid nuts?
Instead of desiccated coconut, can we use fresh coconut?
Can we bake instead of frying?
If we use oil instead of ghee for frying?
What if we don’t tuck coins as they aren’t edible? And
Many more questions…

Then there’s only one answer to all.

As already stated in the beginning, sasrut is not just a recipe but a tradition and we never feel like making any changes to traditional recipes.

Even if we can do more better, more healthy, still never because our traditions are valueables and so are traditional recipes.
