Miracle Meal Ragi: Perspectives On Ragi Ragini: Chronicles From Aji's Kitchen From Alimentary Domain

Author(s) Priyanka Sharma
Country India
Abstract Ragi Ragini: Chronicles from Aji's Kitchen, Anjali Purohit's debut work, is an intriguing mash-up of recipe writing, pictographic visualizations, and narrative writing. It presents a sensitive story about the miracle meal ragi, which is intertwined with the protagonist Ragini's life in various ways. What unfolds is a one-of-a-kind story about women and food traditions encouraging each other through a mutually supportive relationship. The study explores the diverse responses to food narratives, with female characters often conforming to patriarchal codes while resisting them. Authors like Anjali Purohit challenge patriarchal ideologies by incorporating kitchen locations as women's spaces for knowledge creation, sharing, and caring. Purohit's narrative aligns with the contingencies of Third World women, who lead lives in deeply patriarchal locations. By writing narratives anchored on alimentary traditions, she offers a new prescription for women's enablement, offering a nuanced understanding of empowerment discourses.
