Dahi baray (or dahi bhallay) are a popular snack in Pakistan. Especially in the month for Ramadan where they are served for Iftar (the sunset meal when Muslims break their fast) with other items such as fruit chaat, keema samosas, pakoras and chole chaat. They can also be served as a light snack with tea, or as a side with dinner, or as a component to make mix chaat or dahi baray chaat. It is also a common street food snack, with vendors coming up with their unique toppings, and spice mixes.
Dahi baray are made by grinding white lentils into a paste which is then fried to make lentil fritters. The fried lentils are then soaked in luke warm water till soft, and then added into a creamy yoghurt sauce. The soft and pillowy dahi baray are then topped with spices and sauces. The most common spices include roasted and ground cumin powder (bhuna zeera), red chili powder and salt along with a tamarind chutney and green chutney.

Well clearly I was on the wrong side for the shot but as I was surrounded by the many desi aunties I decided better not to move from my position or else I would have been smacked on the head. Last thing I want to see is mango lassi, pakoras, chaat papri all flying in the air and probably all landing on me...LOL...No desi auntie wants to lose their standing position...I dont have to tell you this but they are one tough group...so best I could do was a rear view shot...better luck next time....kiya karay....the show has to go on !
رمضان مبارک
Today is 27th Ramadhan, the most likely date for Lailat-ul Qadr, 'The Night of Power, of Destiny', when fate is laid down for the next twelve months, with the Hazrat Jibril Amin ~Archangel Gabriel descending to the earth to take stock of the world; actually, it falls at the end of Isha namaaz (night prayer) on the night of 26th (last night), up to Fajar namaaz (the pre-dawn prayer) of the 27th, ie. this morning.
[There is one more odd-numbered night left in Ramadhan, the 28th-29th, which may also be considered as Lailat-ul-Qadr, although any one of the five odd numbered nights in the last ten days of Ramadhan might be considered to be this powerful night, but only Rab-ul-Aalameen will know which night that would be.] Ramadhan passes too quickly!
The classic Iftari treats served in every Pakistani home - pakoras with a spicy fruit chaat served with sweet tamarind chutney, mmm... Accompanied by mango milkshake!
I cooked quite alot of food as my sisters and nieces finally came over for a girlie Iftari. Of course, we all over-ate, but I still insisted that they had dinner before they left!
Chaat~Fruit Salad - chick peas, potatoes, onions, green chilli, dhaniya~coriander~cilantro, peaches, apples, pomegranate, pears, grapes (any kind of fruit in fact, though I didn't add the ubiquitous bananas), served with plain yoghurt and sweet tamarind chutney.
>Pakoras - gram flour, salt, red chilli powder, coriander and zeera powder,
spinach, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, green chillies, dhaniya~coriander~cilantro.
En route from Delhi to Rishikesh in a private car - and feeling rather colonial (a feeling I would eventually get used to, but never feel great about) as I watched rural India pass by me in my relative luxury - traffic was held up at a railroad crossing. A small village was centered at the intersection, and children selling onion pakora and slices of coconut crowded around our car. Eventually they moved on, then one boy selling nothing approached the car with his hand out.
I grabbed a handful of Pringles and gestured that I would give him the chips in exchange for a photo. He agreed, but as I raised the camera he held up his hands and was gone. I looked around, and found him fixing his hair and shirt collar in the reflection of the car's back window.
I'd been trying to keep five, two, and half rupee coins to give beggar kids and moms, but for the rest of the trip, I always tried to give kids food (and usually healthier than Pringles, these kids have enough problems).

Pakora (Hindi: पकोड़ा pakoṛā; Urdu: پکوڑا pakodā; Punjabi: ਪਕੌੜਾ pakɒṛā; Bengali: পাকোড়া pakoṛā; Nepali: पकौडा pakauṛā; Kannada: ಪಕೋಡ pakodā; Tamil: பஜ்ஜி bajji pakkoda or pakkora; Telugu: పకోడీ pakōḍī) is a fried snack (fritter). With its origins in Uttar Pradesh, it is found across South Asia.

The chip shop in oatlands when it closed down had"Oatlands needs pakora" sprayed across the shutters.
of course it isn't really from 1999 it's from NOW. i just like the way this photo has a 90s feel to it. well, it does to me anyway.

Pakoras are sliced potatoes coated in flour and fried in huge cauldrons of oil.... not for the faint heated... they are HOT in more ways that one.
sooc (just cropped)
Victor, Marnie and I got potato tikki and cauliflower pakoras (incredibly delicious and cheap) from New Bhaia Sweet Shop on Fraser & 41st, then took them to nearby Mountain View Cemetery to eat. I didn't notice the angry expression until I downloaded my pics!!

I have recently shot for a indian restaurant named "Purple Pakora" This shot acts as a preview of the images
Blissful street food from my hometown, which I brought back home for a quick click. Highly unhealthy stuff but still so soothing on a rainy winter day.
Perhaps one of the popular north Indian curry recipes made with chickpea flour, sour yogurt and spices. It is typically served as a side dish to the choice of rice recipes but can also be served with roti and chapati. Unlike other Indian Dal recipes, it's known for its combination of curry with deep-fried Pakoras.

4.1.17... I've been slightly in denial... but I'm 40 today! I've had a lovely day with lunch and margaritas at my friend's fab Mexican and now just waiting for some folk to come over for drinks and pakora & later I'll be packing for Iceland tomorrow!
