Faraali Pattice Recipe
I saw the Faraali Pattice recipe on Pinterest, and immediately thought of making it either on a Thursday (which is my dad's fasting day) or a Saturday (which is my mom's). Saturday came earlier, and I decided to make the recipe for supper time.
The best part about the Faraali Pattice Recipe is that we had all the ingredients at home and didn't have to go down to buy anything.
In Hinduism, when we fast, we don't refrain from having food, or just have fruits. Along with fruits, there are a few ingredients that are allowed during fast. So the ladies make different recipes out of those ingredients and yep, the Faraali Pattice Recipe is one of them. The dishes that are allowed during the fast are known as 'Faraal'. That's the reason why the name of this recipe is Faraali Pattice Recipe.
I'm sure you might have most of these ingredients at home.

This experiment was one of my best. The pattice turned out to be so tasty...ah! They were crispy from the outside, and soft from the inside. Plus, the raisins were a surprise! Without them, the recipe would have been incomplete. Also, the raita was yummy too.
Try this recipe for sure, and I bet your parents would love you all the more.
