On a rainy day

It was raining yesterday in Oslo and well... after making waffles and devouring them (which is the equivalent to Pakoras on a rainy day in Islamabad) I launched into making platefuls of pakoras. I improvised a bit so I decided to share the recipe here on my blog for my very small but dedicated readership :D Anyway here goes,
1.Take some gram flour and add salt, haldi, corriander powder, red chilli powder and garam masala. (Quantity of flour should be enough to make a paste to douse all the vegetables and the masalas added should be to your taste. Some like it hot and well some don't.)
2. Mix it all up so you have a nice tasting yellow paste.
3. Add 2 cubed potatoes, chopped 1/2 red onion and chopped 1/2 red capsicum and a bunch of whole Ruccola salad leaves to the paste.
4. Pre-heat some frying oil in a medium size pan,
5. Take spoonfuls of the mixture (now also including the vegetables) and fry them on each side for about 2 minutes.
6.Take them out and place on some Kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
7. Eat with a cup of chai :)

Jalebi

It's orange and very sweet, like a sweet pretzel, this 'wiry, toxic' thing my one of my cousins calls the Jalebi. I like to eat it hot. It always made my fingers sticky. I felt like eating one today. Had the urge to pop into a cafe and say 'One cafe latte and a jalebi to go please' That obviously remained a thought.
