Re: Barish and pakoray
the same reason people have water ice when it's hot?
Re: Barish and pakoray
Its raining in Lahore but im not eating Pakoras 
Re: Barish and pakoray
Garm , garm pakoras in barish taste good.
The background is like this:
majority of folks from IndoPak subcontinent earned their living via crops and their crops were dependent on rain. So it was a cause of celebration when it rained in the beginning of season.
The rich folks would celebrate by making Kachorian which was an expensive deal for poor farmers so they would copy the rich landlord and would celebrate the rain by making pakoray instead of kachorian.
Re: Barish and pakoray
Pakistani’s just need an excuse to eat 
…Rain is the perfect excuse since you are limited to indoors !***
Re: Barish and pakoray
whats up with Summer & BBQ?
whats up with Summer & popsicles?
whats up with winter and coffee?
Why are these practices not questioned and only things that desi do are questioned?

hmm, interesting.
I only asked because its raining today, and as usual everyone in the office ordered pakoray. I find it weird.

man that sounds so believable...
I think its a ritual associated with monsoon season. Hot weather prevails right before monsoon hits the subcontinent. The pakoras, kachoris, jalaibis (all types of pakwan) are popular in this season.
Re: Barish and pakoray
:mirch: nobody is questioning the practice. She/he wants to know the reason behind it .
I came up with plausible reasoning behind desi practice.
There are reasons behind gora practices too.

A match made in heaven.
Not everything has a background, do you believe that?
Re: Barish and pakoray
Re: Barish and pakoray
yea maybe they are just destined to be coupled together 
Like Heer Ranjha… Laila Majnu… Romeo Juliet… Mirza Sahiban… And rain pakoray 
Re: Barish and pakoray
because opposites attract (hot=pakoray and cold=baarish) :D
