CHICKEN CROQUETTES:
When masala tv started broadcasting, it changed the whole concept of the  food industry in Pakistan,It basically gave access to someone sitting  at home , who had no idea about cooking , a "how to" manual about  anything and everything food related.Nothing was off limits any more.I  swear, no where in the world has chicken been cooked in so many  different ways ;)

PAKORA 101
When i was in middle school i was a very chubby kid.In fact my nickname was "moti"  (or fatso).... ;)I hated that nickname with a vengeance but i couldn't do  much about it as i loved to eat(and also i had not yet been introduced  to the concept of starving my self to death in the name of dieting).In  time i lost most of my baby fat and Allah gifted me with a metabolism  that is too fast for my weight to catch up:) But my love for food is  still there in all its glory.I am a junk food addict (literally). I can  eat from food stalls on my street for the rest of my life and not  complain.
 
My mom is a great cook(as all Pakistani moms are). I always wanted to  cook like her but for some reason i could never get quiet the flavor  profile that she has in her food. Pakora's are the first thing i learned  to cook exactly like her.So i am really proud of this recipe.

SOOJI KA HALWA:
"Sooji"  or semolina is used in Pakistan to make a very delicious  dessert called  "sooji ka halwa". It is usually made during religious  festivals and  eaten as it is or with "poori" which is made of flour.
It is very  easy to make and really tasty.Particularly the breakfast of  "halwa  poori" is very famous and a lot of hotels and vendors sell it  piping hot  for their early morning customers.
