A couple months after her young son Taran’s untimely death, food vlogger Rajani Jain (Chatori Rajani) is back on Instagram with a new recipe video. The video is also a beautiful tribute to Taran, as it includes a recipe that was one of his favourites.
A new ‘very special’ Chatori Rajani recipe
Rajani shared the recipe for peas and potato cutlets made in an appe pan. It also features Taran, and is the last video she shot with him. “I am not making anything special but this is the last video I shot with my son,” Rajani says in a soft and sombre voiceover. She mentions that Taran loves peas and anything made from peas so she came up with this recipe.
After preparing the dish, she serves it to Taran, who is studying in his room. He eats the appe with a big smile and gives the camera a thumbs up with his mother.
