This recipe is positioned at the top of my 'All-time Favourite Snacks' list. Easy to prepare and yummy as hell-this recipe was taught to me by my mother and it was always known to me as a family recipe. However, I believed that the recipe was quite common, but after looking for it in the internet I couldn't find it posted anywhere; although I'm sure almost all the households of Bangladesh has tried these nuggets for at least once in their life. Below is the recipe: Ingredients: 1. Semolina--1 cup 2. Onion--1, medium sized 3. Egg--1 big or 2 small 4. Vegetables--finely chopped; optional 5. Green Chillies--3-4, chopped 6. Salt--a pinch, or to taste 7. Oil--enough to deep fry the nuggets Adjustments: The amount stated above is most likely to yield about 7-8 nuggets, or more if you make them small. If you want to increase the serving, add another (or more) egg(s) and semolina, and increase the amount of onions and vegetables. Don't forget to adjust the ...

I'm not much of a cooker, when it comes to cooking, most of the time I'm like "feeling sick..." and "not enough energy...". But I started to take it pretty seriously a couple of weeks ago. So I downloaded some recipes and gave it a try. Though not very successful, my foods were edible indeed :D Potatoes This is called 'Aloo Chop' in our local language. First, I boiled some potatoes and mashed them. Then I mixed some spices with it and fried them in oil. Ready to serve :D Bread with Egg Coating This is nothing special, I learned it from my mother who once was trying to make eggs look good so that we would eat it :D I first took breads and cut them according to the shape I preferred (e.g. squares, triangles etc). Then I took eggs, added chopped onions and green chillies, sprinkled some salt, mixed them well and then dipped the breads in the mixture and on fried them (in a little oil) until the egg was cooked well.
