Cuisine you've never tasted

Kanta Prasad is 64, but his childhood memories are vivid. If he ever discovered that an animal is going to be slaughtered nearby, he would run holding a wide-mouthed container to collect the blood, the intestines and the offal, all parts that the upper castes discarded. The rakti, coagulated blood, was and still is a Dalit delicacy. This, week Utsav talks about a cuisine most of us have never even tasted. And if you were a Dalit, would you still celebrate your cuisine if it was trauma on your plate, day after day after day? Special thanks to Rajyashri Goody (http://www.rajyashrigoody.com/) for her kind permission to use her recipe booklets for the episode.
