Its been snowing and raining ice these past few days here in the Midwest. We have been at home mostly trying to stay warm and get some indoor chores done. Having been here for so long, I have learnt to appreciate the change in weather and enjoy good weather even more than before. But even after all these years, I still am not used to the extreme cold - frozen fingers, frozen noses and ears and a really depressive mood! I have great respect for people out there who live all their lives in cold extreme conditions!
Well anyway, to stay warm this winter, it has been mainly soups and some spicy indian curry with chapathis at home. Every once in a while, I get the craving to eat some hot bajjiyas, hot samosas or some hot pakodas! To satisfy this craving (and actually for a potluck at a friend's) I made garam Pakodas the other day!
Garam (Hot) Pakodas
I follow
Sailu's Ulli Pakodis recipe to the T. I have made it numerous times now and it has never failed me! People always wonder how my Pakodas stay so crisp and delicious even after such a long time! Well if only they knew - this is not a low fat, calorie check recipe by any means :-) But its delicious and great for indulging once in a while! Thanks Sailu for a wonderful recipe!
Also wanted to mention about
Foodie Blog Roll! This is really wonderful- this blogroll thing! It keeps me abreast with the latest in the food blog world and the best part is that I dont have to keep adding to my blogroll! Someone else takes care of it :-) Do check it out on my right hand side bar! And I would encourage my dearest blogger friends to join, if you're not already on there!
Sorry for not blogging a whole lot lately! Thanks though to some of my dear readers to enquire! I have been busy with the usual and not too much in the mood to cook :-) Though things are getting better and I promise to come back with some recipes :-)
