Narkoler Kochuri (coconut puffs)

Morning is tough. Waking up early, making breakfast, preparing my kid for school, it’s hectic. But in the weekend it’s different, waking up late sipping a cup of coffee in a rocking chair and watching the changing color of trees it’s amazing. Just near my balcony, there is a maple tree now its leaves are getting reddish day by day which reminds me of my Palash tree back in India. Memories are like a stack of stories waiting to be cherished again. I remember in winter days, Sunday morning my mom or my aunts used to make kachoris. Mouthwatering kachoris with dal or potato curry it’s amazing. We were very fond of hinger kochuri, peas kochuri. But narkoler kochuri was not so familiar. One of my aunts made me some and  I can’t forget that taste, it’s so easy but so tasty. I thought to make it in today’s breakfast and surprise my hungry husband. And It’s a success his smiling face tells me everything.
