Happy Vaisakhi!!! Vaisakhi is a Sikh Holiday, in Happy Vaisakhi!!! 

Vaisakhi is a Sikh Holiday, in the year 1699 Guru Gobind Singh Ji  chose this day to establish the Khalsa which started the Sikh religion.  Happy Birthday to all the Singhs & Kaurs 🙏🏼
Sikh by Birth, Proud by Choice. Jayraj was chosen Sikh by Birth, Proud by Choice. Jayraj was chosen not only to be one of the Panj Pyare for the Vaisakhi Parade, he was also asked to write and speak in front on the entire sangat at #glenrockgurudwara  where there was easily 1,000 people present for Vaisakhi. 

It was such a proud moment, this 5 year old had the confidence to recite his poem despite the large sangat.

Vaisakhi 2020- Quarantine Edition. Happy Vaisakhi! Vaisakhi 2020- Quarantine Edition. Happy Vaisakhi!!! 

Vaisakhi is a Sikh Holiday, in the year 1699 Guru Gobind Singh Ji  chose this day to establish the Khalsa which started the Sikh religion. 

I recently found out that today is the actual birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (speak to your Sikh historians about this one 😉) 

Last year during Vaisakhi we were still in Quarantine.  We made our own celebration at home.  We dressed up in orange and blue, did paath while making parshaad.  It was the first time the boys had made parshaad. 

Of course we missed our trip to Gurdwara, the Vaisakhi mela and the Sikh Day parade in NYC but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make memories at home. 

How are you celebrating Vaisakhi this year compared to last year?  Are you celebrating on the 13th or 14th?

Save this post now for when the recipe reel comes Save this post now for when the recipe reel comes out on Thursday!  What is your fav fried food?

Bread pakora is a vegan Indian fritter.  It is a common street food made with triangular sliced bread, chickpea flour, seasonings and herbs.  If you are staying away from bread- cut up veggies instead.  I love to slice thin potatoes and make them into pakoras!

Bread Pakoras are commonly served as a snack however, it makes a great breakfast as well.  My kids enjoy this on Sundays right before they start Khalsa School (Sikh Religion School). Having a virtual Sunday school is amazing however, they are missing the langar that is served in Gurdwara. (Community Kitchen in the Sikh Temple which serves communal meal that is shared by all who come to Gurdwara) 

Ingredients:
1 cup Chickpea Flour (Besan)
1/2-3/4 cup water (consistency desired) 
1 Tsp salt
1 Tsp Tumeric
1 Tsp Garam Masala 
1/2 Tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 Tsp Coriander Powder 
1/2 Tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
1/4-1/2 Tsp Red chili powder (lal mirch) 
2 Tbsp Chopped Cilantro 

Mix all the ingredients together, it should be the consistency of a thin pancake batter.  Dip the bread into the batter on both sides and fry until golden brown. 

Enjoy with Chutneys! 
-Mint & Cilantro
-Tamarind
-Ketchup
