Parijata, also known as Ganga Shiuli in Odiya & Night Jasmine in English is Lord Krishna's favorite flower. Though i have seen my mom using the leaves to make fritters, using the flowers came into picture only a few years back. While Assamese add these to fish curry, many use these as a replacement of Saffron. These flowers are sun-dried and used throughout the year when not in season. Night Jasmine Creamy Coconut Rice is a very delicious and aromatic dish, which will be a treat to all your senses.
