Hi, happy to note that most of the words are the same. I want to current Marathi versions for the words mentioned by you:
ReplyDeleteUchchathani - Ulathane
Jharani Phali - Jhaaraa
Jharadi - Chaalani
Korad - Chimataa
Vaatach Dhonda - Pata (flat stone-stationery), Varavantaa (round cylindrical stone-moving, rolling)
Dear Abhijit,
DeleteThank you for giving us the current versions in Marathi. Some of us do use "Chimataa" and "Pata". and "Varavanta" is common amongst us.
Thank you for the interesting addition. :)
Here's one more utensil-
ReplyDeleteKolaga- large measure.
In the context of breaking/grinding, the word 'thench' is also used. Like using a pestle to break- naaral thenchun deentha. Or thenchu ghaala, as in pounding.
YES! Thank you form reminding me.. we do uise " kolaga" for a large measure.
DeleteThenchna is commonly used. the TM dish "THENCHA" is also born from here as it involves 'thenchna' !
