@arunima25 This is called Chicken Ada or chicken pockets, filling of deep fried shredded chicken and some seasoning. If you like sweet you can also make it with grated coconut and sugar.

@FaruMesh I make those chicken pockets for my husband. He loves it. This one has grated coconut, roasted rava. condensed milk and dry fruits in the filling. Gujiya is very common during Holi.

Enjoyed your post.

Hope you have a productive day writing. We call that snack empanada here. I love it. Don't know how to make these stomach-filling treats. So I buy at the bakeshops.

@arunima25 Don't know what a semolina is but I think I'd go for your gujya, minus the condensed milk. Coconut and dried fruits are palatable to taste. But I cannot have sweets any longer. The empanada is mostly cubed potato, carrots, chicken strips, and raisins. Not too salty. Just right for the taste.

@eileenleyva We call them chicken pockets here and I like them. I make it for my children and husband. For my vegetarian self, I put cottage cheese instead of chicken or minced soya chunks. I have tried the chicken ones( I take chicken and fish sometimes, like once in a year or less0.

The one that you see in the picture is sweet with grated coconut, dry fruits, roasted semolina, condensed milk, and some sugar in the filling. What you have posted is a salty snack. We make it too with our choice of veg or nonveg fillings. My husband loves it with minced chicken inside.

@anil02 Oh My God! That must be horribly hot. This is supposed to be the rainy season in India and there should have been some relief from the heat by now. Hope you get some good rain and relief from the heat soon.

Congratulations!On your Toluna payment. I have not visited Toluna in a long time. It's nature's fury everywhere...some areas are in drought while others are flooded due to heavy rain.

@arunima25 I did not realize either, it was still the 15th of August afternoon in the USA when I logged out, so I knew they had still a few hours to pay on time.

@LadyDuck That's what JJ mentioned on Forum Coin. It was not actually delayed but Bugs made a post in anticipation that it might be delayed as the server was slow. That is so professional

Yes, they do remind of samosas. But this one is sweet with grated coconut, roasted rava( semolina), sugar or jaggery, condensed milk, and dry fruits inside as filling. I did not realise that the payment was delyed unless JJ suggested the discussion by Bugs.

@sathviksouvik Yes, I try to grow a few. Space is a constraint in apartments. I buy garden soil and cocopeat along with organic manure from a nearby Biotech center. We give our kitchen waste to them and get composts at a dirt-cheap rate from them. So, we follow some environment-friendly policies

Thank You. Gujiya is very common in North India during Holi. I enjoy methi ka paratha and we use the homegrown fresh methi. It is delicious.

For a second I thought those are curry puffs! They look so similar to the curry puffs we make here, with minced beef and potatoes inside.

That's a good practice. I write them straightway here. But for my talk and school article, I write them in word and edit them a few times before submitting them.

Before i press the post button here, I copy it. I have lost a few discussions earlier and learnt the lesson.

Did you fast for all four Mondays or only the first and the last? I used to so 16 somwars but since last few years, I have left all fasting except for Shivaratri and Ashthmi puja. My diabetes creates trouble for me when I fast.
