From butter to flour, how these things are made in the village, know in detail

In the rural areas of Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh, some things which were used years ago are still seen. However, due to mechanization, these things are gradually disappearing from rural areas. Nevertheless, in some areas women still use these old things.

When there were no machines, village women used to extract buttermilk and butter from curd with a churner. Even today, despite mechanization, women in some villages still churn butter. This tradition has now died out in urban areas; You will rarely see Mathani in cities.

Ghani Manju, who uses the churner, told that the churner is made from wood. There are two types of churners: a big churner which is tied to a rope to extract the butter, and a small churner which is operated by hand and the butter comes out easily. The butter that comes out of the churn is very different and special in taste.

In earlier times, when there was no mill to grind flour in the village, women used to grind flour by hand. Chakri (mill) is still used in rural areas. Women still grind gram and arhar dal and porridge with this mill. It is made of stone and the women of the village can easily operate it by hand.

The use of mouser can still be seen in rural areas. Earlier women used to thresh paddy through musher. Although now its use in everyday work has reduced, but Mouser is still seen in marriages. When a girl’s wedding procession takes place, Musar is used in some traditional rituals.

Even today women use Sikhara in rural areas. It is made from plastic rope and is mesh like. It is hung at a high place, so that cats and rats cannot reach it easily and the food remains safe. In olden times, when there was no refrigerator, things like bread, vegetables and milk were kept in it.
