Street Food: Garma Garm Kachoris

 "All happiness depends on is a leisurely breakfast"

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but we all function pretty well without it. i can't really afford a leisurely breakfast every morning on weekdays like most of the others, there's too much to do and too little time early mornings, and in all the rush the poor breakfast goes down in the priority. Most of the time, I skip it all together! Yeah I know bad habit sorry!

Anyway skipping to the interesting part, this weekend  I went over to my uncle's place, besides other things breakfast was on the agenda; ad he took me to a place that turned out to be serving really yummy breakfast. We had kachori that morning. Now what is kachori you may ask? A kachori is a little poori or flat bread deep fried, the difference between a poori and kachori is that the latter is filled with daal. These kachori that I had for breakfast were served with Aaloo ki sabzi (potato curry) and dahi (yoghurt). The dahi even though was spiced it balanced the taste and the temperature of the garma garam kachori.  

I've not been a fan of kachori, but these were really tasty, firstly, i had them out in the open, under an old tree, sitting on a bench that is normally occupied by the men of the neighborhood who sit with friends having this fresh and hot breakfast, secondly the straight from the pan serving was amazing. we were served quickly and there were no delays between the kachori serving. I didn't' have to wait after finish one for the next one to be fried and then served. Most importantly, it was the taste, not too spicy, not too bland, a perfect balance makes me want to go for more. 

Maybe I will... yum! Fried breakfast yes full of calories but to hell with them when you think of the experience of a roadside desi breakfast with a favorite uncle who has a great sense of humor and is ready to be just as crazy as you are!

So where is this place you want to know? It's right outside the Nazimabad No. 1 Pakistan Post Office, yes right outside you'll notice this uncle frying away garma garam kachori and when you see him, I'd suggest you go and try them out too, they're delicious, light and very inexpensive! 

So while I go look for something to eat, you watch this video of kachoris in the making. Leave a comment to tell me if you've tried them before. 

Bon Appetit

What would Asma Siddiqui like for her birthday this year (2018)?

Following the trend I am sharing my list of birthday gifts that I’d love to get this year. For my newer friends who are not fully aware of my brilliance a quick recap; I do this because I’d rather get gifts that I can use and that I need for the time being instead of being showered by lovely gifts that stay sitting and forgotten in the corner of my room somewhere. So to save you effort, time and money here’s my list: Board Games: 1.        Ludo 2.        Scrabble 3.        Bingo Stationary Items: (pictures attached for better understanding ;) ) 1.        Lead pencil/ clutch pencil  2.        Colored Felt pens Books: 1.        Rumi’s Daughter by Muriel Maufroy 2.        The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 3.     ...

Sister at Distance

It’s sad to lose your sister to distance; for a person who stays by you day and night, gets married and moves away and then all you are left with is a void. A void that no one else can fill, there are times when you want to share the tiniest of things with her and she’s not around. The only thing that keeps you connected is Whatsapp and Facebook and Instagram. When through social media you are able to keep tabs on her, you know what’s happening in her life, although you want to be part of everything that happens in her life you realize that that’s never going to happen and you just have to distance yourself from her, because her priorities in life have changed, she’s got another family to take care of and your own urgencies can wait. You will continue to be a part of her life that has taken a cyclone turn and although you’re glad you’re not part of the whirlpool, you’re a sidelined spectator watching her from a distance. Our connection now just remains limited to the mobile ...

Cafe Mist & Gelato Affairs

2012 is one of those years for me when I want to be very socially active.   Mind you I’m not usually this active every year. The year before Last i.e. 2010 I didn’t want to see a human face. I have the ability to hibernate on yearly basis from social life, for various reasons. So this year I decided to have a reunion of the old office where I worked. Now there I worked with more than 100 people over the course of 5 years, obviously I made some really good friends and some people I just outright hate, I’m sure they know who they are. So having said that I put aside my differences and invited everyone I knew to a reunion. Also when inviting I made sure I told everyone very clearly that the invitation is open to all just come bring your friends, family whoever, just come we’ll sit down together catch up on the latest, reminisce about the past, enjoy ourselves and go back home thinking the day wasn’t so bad, However, statistically speaking out of the 50+ invitations I sent out, I ...
