Bahawalpur and I . Bahawalpuris Fire and Fury Pakoras

I remember my early childhood days in Rajpura Township , Punjab ,from 1962 to 1968 . 

Rajpura Township had been established to accommodate migrants from Bahawalpur post Partition .The migrants worked hard very hard .

.Most of my childhood friends there spoke Punjabi with a heavy Bahawalpuri accent ,

For 1, 2 ,3 even I would say Hekk , Doo , Traa

Bahawalpuri folks were very fond of red chillies

Kamal Kakri- Lotus Stem vegetable - ' Bheesa '

 Pakoras of Rajpura

They would inject a paste of really hot red chillies in kamal kakris and deep fry these as Pakoras.

The resultant ' fire and fury ' stuff was greatly relished by many , especially , when taken with hard drinks.

One of my Mamajis , when ever he visited us , would ask for those Tej pakoras, as snacks with the liquor he brought with him .
