@dosa_chick

not having any luck with sehri, I didn’t get up again

Iftaar dates, our fav fruit chaat, few pakoras with poodina dahi, and guava juice.
dinner corn pea rice with beans and salad.

I made pakoras with grated potato, thinly sliced onion, dill, coriander, mint, turned out great. The only thing is there shouldnt be too much besan, should be just enough so that veggies are peeping through, otherwise they become very mote mote pakoras.

Hubby is travelling for business will be back on sat inshallah, hoping to make a toot paro iftari and dinner that day

Awww sorry to hear you didnt wake up Hope the roza goes well today inshallah … it should be your husband getting excited for the toot paro iftari , but at the moment its me jumping with excitement and I dont even get to eat that aftari … tough luck

@sazzie

Today at Sehri, wasn’t hungry at all as I think I ate too much at iftar lol. But-Day 3Sehri - a few pakoray again with ketchup, some watermelon, small bowl of cereal and water.Iftar - roti with chooza salan, couple of pakoray, cucumber, mango juice and a strawberry tart.

I like the mention of chooza salan … is it any different from chicken salan? though I know out of guilt for the poor chooza’s dying young , I would never be able to make the salan myself .. but out of curiosity just asked the question

@saks

Yes CB, I made lemonade with fresh lemon, water, and sugar and added a couple tablespoons of Rooh Afza in it. it was really refreshing. Hubby loved it!

This is the Pakora recipe:

In 2 cups of besan add: 1 tsp salt, 2tsp crushed red chilies, 2 tsp crushed coriander seeds, 1tsp red chilli powder, 1/2tsp baking powder, 1 thinly sliced onion, chopped spinach, 4-6 green chillies, 1 large potato cut into thin small triangles.

Mix everything with approx. 1 cup water. let it sit for 1/2 - 1 hour. (add the onions just before frying or they will become soggy!)

Deep fry and enjoy

These pakoras taste just like the store bought ones I used to eat in Karachi

Thanks so much SaKs .. I will try it inshallah one of these days

@apple_blossom

yesterdays iftar: lots of watermelons,1 roll and few tbsp of macroni.

sehri:1 glass milk added 1 tbsp of tukh malanga (sweet basil seeds) 1 apple and a shami kabab sandwich i added 3 leaves of spinach and some shredded cabbage in it to make it more healthy and filling.

Apple , her cheez ki counting hi kerti reti ho you need a hearty meal … Do you not get Flaxseed in your part of the world? add a teaspoon or two of that in yoru cereal or sammich in the morning .. its good fat so wont stick to your body and will give you that fuller feeling for longer …
