I&#8217;d been waiting for this book ever since I came to know that Khaled Hosseini&#8217;s third novel is coming out on May. Finally, the wait is over. This evening I drove straight to Chapters after work and gracefully picked up my copy. As I roamed around \u00a0the store holding this book, a few of them told me &#8221; that&#8217;s going to be an awesome read&#8221;. Sure enough, I didn&#8217;t have any doubts at the first place. After I checked out I was dragged towards the cozy Starbucks which was found inside the book store. I just needed chai tea latte, but the guy at the check out tempted me to buy the peach muffin as well. He was a pretty good sales person. After I got my chai latte and muffin, I went and sat on the very relaxing couch. Sipped the latte, had a bite of muffin and started reading. I kept reading, sipping and eating&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14830 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-24-17-03-35.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-24-17-03-35.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-24-17-03-35-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-24-17-03-35-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As soon as I finished the first chapter, my heart started to ache. That&#8217;s the magic Khaled hosseini&#8217;s writing has &#8220;your heart will ache, you will feel blessed and gifted, you&#8217;ll get bonded with the characters in the novel, after you finish the book you&#8217;ll appreciate life more&#8221;. He did it again, this time with more depth and power. I came home and took a short break from reading as I wanted to share the chicken pakora recipe with you all.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s official that the weather has been diagnosed\u00a0with dipolar disorder. Oh my God, what a crazy weather we are having. Last weekend, we thought sizzling hot Summer is here. Yesterday, the temperature dropped down to 3 degrees C, I&#8217;d already buried my jackets and fleeces. Today&#8217;s weather is no better, it&#8217;s still cold, windy and gloomy. Yesterday&#8217;s rainy weather triggered the craving for eating fried crunchy snacks, my man and I both were hit with the craving at the very same time. I assured my man that I would make chicken nuggets, he couldn&#8217;t get any happier. I lined up everything that&#8217;s needed to make the chicken nuggets on the island. However, for some reason my heart wasn&#8217;t with the chicken nuggets idea. Before my brain could figure out what I was making, these chicken pakoras came out of the oil fried and crispy. \u00a0 Usually, I first click the pictures, only after that I&#8217;ll indulge in what ever dish I&#8217;d made. But these chicken pakoras didn&#8217;t let me click first, they were so\u00a0irresistible\u00a0that I ate a few of them and then I clicked the pictures. In fact, I even ended up making a second batch. Do I have to say more to convince you???<\/p>\n<p>After blogging this recipe, I am going to embrace the book. Well, I chose the right day to read the book as my man who had a long tiring day at work is sitting on the couch holding a sign board that says: &#8220;leave me alone&#8221;. I don&#8217;t think I would even look at him until I finish reading this book. I will be seen silent, lost and touched! Have a splendid weekend everyone and enjoy these crispy chicken pakoras!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14826 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-pakoras.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-pakoras.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-pakoras-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-pakoras-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crispy Chicken Pakoras- Chicken Fritters (Gluten Free Chicken Fritters)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MQiT2dGAoGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
