Madhuri...
Vilayati JILIPI :
*1: jilipi.*..it looks like one.. all curled up... jalebi is pronounced
jilipi in kolkata.
but I personally would have have chosen that name ... because of its taste
subtleties and not the looks...
1a: like jalebi: its somewhat sweet as opposed to the real IMLI.
1b: best jalebis are those made from the mixture/khiru that is
perfectly fermented overnite.. and then the jalebi made, dipped in sugar
syrup... has a tangy sour inner taste and and overlying sweetness... thats
what this tastes like...
* 2: VILAYATI: i*ts foreign... does not matter if its really from outside
India or not... anything thats not in their ancestral history or memory
bank is considered foreign by the villagers ... and anything that's even
from another state is called VILAYAti,,,,
As far as this tree... Central america is her home, brought by the
spaniards to the phillipines to improve soil mainly, its a nitrogen fixer,
being a fabaceae ... of the pea family.... from their the dutch apparently
brought it to se asia and Burma... there to India..
its botanical name first appeared in 1795 identified from the Cormondel
coast I think... untill then it was only called with local names it
seems or who brought it... ...
Isn't it an irony that it was first studied and described Botanically and
named " Pithecellobium dulce " from India, but was not of indian
origin... such is history of world forestery ....
Very Interesting.. and source of confusion and a rich source for anybody
and many "anybody..s' who may wish to follow and do research in
languages, botany, slave trade, colonialism, spaniards, dutch french
english colonials and their appetite for riches and naval expansion etc...
and their cruetly.. some has been written but a lot remains to be unearthed
and written about...
Good question Madhuri...
Be well...
