Ramazan, rain, summer vacation and Pakoray, these are a few of my favourite things.

Yes, pakoray and Ramazan go hand in hand, as does rain and pakoray, and since this year Ramzan coincides with the monsoon season, how can I not break into a song.

I don’t know if it's the season that makes me happy, or my childhood memories that come with the joys of eating pakoray come iftar time. Ammi always had a pakora platter ready at maghrib in Ramazan, and since fussy me did not appreciate the vegetable pakora platter, until much later in life.

 

If you grew up in Pakistan or North India you obviously know what a pakora is, it is the quintessential desi snack found in every street corner, summer or winter. The pakora is a popular street food but in a desi household, the pakora is very much a homemade food as well.

It became a street food, affordable, quick and scrumptious and in doing so also became a sumptuous snack to be enjoyed at iftar time.

When breaking fast people in the subcontinent have trained their taste buds to savour fried and battered delicacies, hence the pakora is a must iftar treat, almost as much as the khajoor (date).

Come Ramazan or not, my household remains in a constant state of pakora frenzy.
