Post-partum Stew, Pudding

Herbs are good for almost everyone, and so is protein. More so for a new mom, who just gave birth. So I made a batch for a friend, who gave birth amidst the pandemic. This was a super hit with both families, hers and mine. I remember the kiddo saying "Can we do this again?" I think he meant the food, not the aunt's childbirth ;)

What is Raab? It is a millet dill stew.

What is sheera? it is pudding.

What is Bhadku Badam Sheera? It is a popular post partum sheera - special kind, with higher protein and more almonds/nuts.
