Berhin / Birheen Recipe

Birheen is a traditional recipe of Bihar. Earlier it was very popular but now a days hardly people knows it. There are very few ladies who can make it now. It is very tasty but is little difficult to prepare. This recipe is given to us by Mrs Kanti Sahay, aged 82.Because of her age, she is not able to show this recipe practically but she explained us method so nicely that it was very easy for us to understand. She was very excited to see the result of Berhin, prepared by our team It came up very nice and according to her, we could replicate her result.

Berhin is prepared with Ragi flour and gram lentil. It is something like stuffed puri of Ragi flour.  Some spices are added to this for flavor. One classy thing regarding this is that it is fried in mustard oil. Use of mustard oil is an unique thing for me but trust me it’s result was amazing. The flavor was the dish was out of the world. I had never tasted something like this before.
