| dbo:abstract | Baji (Nepal Bhasa: बजि, Nepali: चिउरा, chiura, English: flattened rice) is a type of beaten rice eaten in Nepal. The most common word for it, and the one visitors to Nepal will generally encounter, is "chiura." "Baji" is the term used by the Newar culture in the Kathmandu Valley. Rice is a staple in Nepal, as throughout South Asia. The grain is incorporated into everyday life, festivals, and rituals. Chiura is a common snack among farmers and workers in rural Nepal. The snack is made by pounding rice. The dish can be served with yogurt, curry, and or meat. Often chiura is paired with tea as a mid-morning snack in the fields. Chiura holds an important place in the traditional Nepali wedding ceremony. Chiura is usually included in the brideprice, any valuables or wealth given to the bride’s family by the groom. After the initial wedding ceremony, the families escort the bride back to the groom’s house. During this procession, the pounded rice ceremony occurs. The bride and groom are seated next to one another, and the bride is given the chiura. The groom then formally asks the bride to give him the chiura. He will ask this two more times, each time using a form of “you” that indicates a lowering of her social status. This ceremony reiterates the fact that the woman’s social ranking has dropped far below its original status. (en) El baji es un tipo de arroz roto consumido en Nepal. * बजि o bayi (en nepal bhasha) * चिउरा, chi urá (en nepalí) Se trata de un aperitivo común entre los granjeros y trabajadores del Nepal rural. Se elabora remojando el arroz crudo y rompiéndolo entonces con un mazo de madera. El plato puede servirse con yogur, curry y carne. A menudo se acompaña con té como aperitivo a media mañana en el campo. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus orígenes modestos, el chiura ostenta un papel importante en la ceremonia nupcial tradicional nepalí, ya que suele incluirse en la dote de la novia. Tras la ceremonia nupcial inicial, las familias escoltan a la novia de vuelta a la casa del novio. Durante esta procesión se celebra la ceremonia del arroz roto. Los novios se sientan uno junto al otro, y se le da el arroz a la novia. Entonces el novio pide formalmente a la novia que le dé el chiura. Lo hace dos veces más, cada una usando una forma más baja de ‘tú’. Esta ceremonia reitera el hecho de que el estatus social de la mujer ha caído mucho más abajo que el original. (es) |
