FOOD: lazy girl's snack- POTATO CROQUTTES

I know for some of you it may seem inappropriate to see food post in crucial time like this when we still are getting aftershocks everyday & life still in tremor.But I guess its time we try switch out from the “quake mode”& start our lives normally don’t u think?And anyway if your one of those like my grandma who's still not ready to enter home despite how safe the house looks even after that MEGAEARTHQUAKE, this quick make and munch snack might just fill up your hungry tummy!

Today was just like the other days after the earthquake-still aftershocks and everyone too lazy to do anything.Literally it feels like the shake has shaked off the energy out of people,all you want is to sleep or just lie around in a safe place(well thats how i feel). Anyway we aint never too lazy to cook though,especially my mom.She just gets excited when it comes to cooking and whatever recipe you show her,she'l add her own personal touch & make extra tasty!lucky me i know,,but now u may have guessed where all the fat in my body comes from too haha

So getting back to how to make this absolutely easy,quick & deliiiiiicious potato croquttes:

Lets start :

all u need is boiled potatoes-mashed,breadcrumbs and that colourful mixture right there is chopped-onions,green chilles,spring onions & coriander

mix all the chopped items to the mashed potatoes 

add salt,chilli powder and black pepper to taste & mix well.

so,we have 3 steps here before the goodness hits the hot oil:
1.make small balls of the mix
2.coat them with egg wash(here i used 3 eggs)
3.roll them around in breadcrumbs

If you don’t have breadcrumbs,blend some beaten rice or suji and it will work the same as well.

drop the balls in very hot oil & fry until golden brown,if you overfry them,they might crumble to pieces,keep watch!

drain the excess oil & wola they are ready!

We made dipping sauce out of ketchup,little vinegar & chilli paste!

So here you go,easy & quick lazy girl's snack.ENJOY :)

the major hastag all around

I am writing this post in a post traumatic condition.

Its exactly one week after the GIANT earthquake hit Nepal!And it's the most heart wrenching feeling.The whole week went by in a state of shock,emotionally distressed by the plights of victims,tremors of aftershocks,panicking,terrifying. Last Saturday,I was in my room chilling,lying down recklessly,making plans for our upcoming pokhara trip.Who knew the ground below me had different plans!The seismograph read 7.8 richter scale that afternoon!And this saturday,I'm back home typing this blog post in my bed after spending all these days in the tent.Feels like a nightmare!

With all the tragedy that has stricken our nation,its been a really harsh week for all.You should have seen me the other night...I spent solid couple of hours going through all the photos of destructed heritages I once witnessed.Things wont be the same next time around when I’l be at that place.I'm still kind of in shock at how quickly all the things around me changed since the quake occurred!My grandma was still nervous to return home to sleep the night before yesterday,even the slightest swift movements in the room gives her a scare.

However,it still feels nice to be back home.....safe-alive.

Things are still crazy outside home and everyone's trying to make composure.I really cant think of any inspiring lines to share right now but want to heartly thank each and every single human who is donating,volunteering,supporting, leading,aiding.Also,facebooking and tweeting about the earthquake and CHANNELIZING people,organizations up and backing through the chaos my country is facing!All you people are doing mind-boggling jobs!Keep it up!

And right now,I wouldn't really ask for much else...except for quick recovery & peace restoration in the country & people's mind. 

I know we all are deep heartbroken and shattered.But we hold each other hands and will avail.No matter what,we will overcome;we will grow again and bounce back.Eventually we will be blessed.

So in the mean time lets reach out and help where needed,donate what we can and pray.

Grant eternal peace to those who lost their lives.Embrace the children who died in their innocence.Help those who are hurt and cure those who are sick.

Encourage those who suffer the destruction of their homes and properties and to once again stand up and rebuild their future.

Bless all those who extend their helping hands to those in need of food,shelter and clothing,who share their time,talents and resources with others.

Inspire more people to be men and women for their neighbors,convinced that the more they are for others,the taller they stand before you.

Spare us please from other natural disasters and devastations if this be according to Your will and for our own spiritual good and growth.

                                Amen!                                                         

                                        

                                                                                                                                                                            sending hugs to everyone :)
