  2. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We make the churning once a week. The churn is about two feet and a half in height. My mother makes the churning. It is made in (a) half an hour or so. When the butter is taken out of the churn it is left on a wooden vessel or on a delph vessel. If a person goes out with a lit pipe while the churning is making and does not help to make it himself it is said that he will bring the butter.
