MAMA JI'S NADRU PAKODA

                                        

                                            











The Halwai in Vishal Nagar ,Talab Tillo told me this :

" People call me Mama Ji . I specialise in making mouthwatering  palak or onion Pakoda, Gulgula, bread Pakoda, Samosa, Seviyaan, Matri, Mathi and the much sought after Nadru Pakoda or what Kashmiris call Nadru Monji. My Nadru is special. It is thick and soft. I use mustard oil for Nadru Pakoda which I sell for 280 rupees a kg. If you eat once , you get addicted to my Nadru Pakoda. Initially, only Kashmiris used to buy it but now locals and even the migrant artisans from Bihar, Chattisgarh and other states relish it. My Nadru Monji goes to Dubai, Pune, Bangaluru and other places where Kashmiri Pandits reside. On orders, I make Luchi also . Many Kashmiri Pandit families conducting Janew ceremony engage me for making Nadru Monji and Luchi. I am from Batala in Punjab and  cleanliness and quality is my trademark. That makes customers come repeatedly. "
