MaterialsThe
main ingredients of 'Moya' preparation are the Kanakchur Paddy, Ghee and
liquid molasses (Nalan Gur) prepared from the juice of date palm. It is
learnt from history that in the month of 'Paus' of Bengali year, the
front portion of the top of the date-palm is cut and a small portion of
bamboo pipe is fixed in that portion. It is seen that on the next day or
day after, the juice of the date-palm comes out through the bamboo pipe
fixed in that portion and the said juice accumulate in an earthen pot
fixed under the said bamboo pipe. The word "Nalane" comes from the pipe
prepared from bamboo. After that the accumulated molasses collected from
3 to 4 earthen pots is divided into 3 to 4 parts and after boiling, the
sweet scented "Nalane" is prepared. |
