After a long time, I got a relaxing weekend so I just don’t feel to go anywhere and just sit and prepare some food in Indian style at home.
As today is Saturday and in Hindu mythology, Saturday is day known for Lord Shani Dev. There is a myth that if anyone wants to start a new venture or any auspicious thing then Saturday is not good enough to do so but I believe that as it is a day of Lord Shani and he is a dispenser of justice and completely impartial so any start will be a great start on such day.
People used to offer black sesame seeds, black grams, and mustard oil to Lord Shani on Saturday to please them.
I can say that I am celebrating Saturday by way of preparing Lord Shani’s favorite dish "BLACK URAD DAL KHICHDI".
