@jesusredeemedme2425 last but not least, aloo kebabs!! 😃💖 I have posted this before on other forum so just copy pasting 😁😁😁 For making Potato kebabs you boil the potatoes, when the are soft and cooled, peeling the skin and mash them. After that addition of salt, various spices and seasonings, I add chopped onion (purple and green both), corn flour coriander, mint, red chilli powder, turmeric, black pepper (optional) and our kind of traditional spice that my mom add but I don’t 😆, known as pakora masala. “Pakora masala" in English means Pakora Spice Mix or Fritter Spice Blend, a pre-mixed combination of spices like cumin, coriander seeds, red chilli powder, and turmeric. Mix everything well, then flattened them and make circle patties. Dip in toast crumbs and egg for crispiness and shallow fry them in fry pan both sides until they are golden brown and unbreakable. And tada your potato kebabs are ready 😃💖 you can have them with ranch, ketchup, and mustard as well, or even yogurt. Also, you can make it as burger patty✨
Wow @kindlemissie. I loved seeing your pictures. It looks like a lot of work and love went into making these. As a vegetarian I could eat all of them too. I usually think of kebabs as meat and veggies in a stick, so it was interesting that these are more of a snack you can dip. Looks so good! 😋 Thanks for sharing!
@reservedOwl321 Awww I’m glad you could find a snacks and dishes to try according to your preferences with our sharing traditional foods 💖💖💖 this just warms my heart. I will try to share more vegetarian dishes I have on my cooking diary here so anyone here can try more of them. And yes, thank you so much for the kind words, appreciate you so much 🤗🤗💖💖
Ber is the fruit of the Ziziphus mauritiana tree, also known as jujube. It is a healthy and affordable fruit, often called the "poor man's apple." It is mainly grown in warm areas and can survive in harsh climates with little water. It is a hardy crop that requires minimal care and can tolerate drought and salty soil, making it suitable for small-scale farming.
Among the different types, Sindhi Ber and Makhan Ber are known for their soft texture and delicious taste. Sufi Ber is small and oval-shaped, with a unique milky white juice inside. Jangri or Chhapru Ber grows in Sindh’s hilly regions, especially in the Kheerthar Mountains and Kohistan. Some Punjab varieties of Ber include Pak-White, Umran, Anokhi, Sufan, Bahawal-SL, and Yazman. The Ber comes in various shapes, including oval, obovate, oblong, and round, with its size depending on the variety.

Um actually there's lotsss of differences. Yes our dishes have same names mostly, but the tastes are different. And I'm only talking about North Indian foods, only those are similar to Pakistani. But they usually tend to be a little on the sweeter and lighter side, and they use curry leaves a lot. Pakistani dishes use lots of spices and hardly ever any curry leaves.
South Indian dishes however, are completelyyy different from Pakistani dishes. Dishes throughout pakistan have very less variation as it is a small country but Indian food has a wholeee different variety of tastes and dishes throughout the country.
My fav dish is biryani and I think a lot of them can relate 😁
(I wanted to insert a picture but something's going wrong..i hope someone else can do that)
