PAKWAN- A TRADTIONAL SWEET

21 - CopyThe people of village are very simple in thought and behavior. They are therefore very friendly and helpful. Whenever they celebrate a festival, they dance and sing together and cook small sized cookies called Pakwan, Goggi or methi tikkia.
Last sunday i have got a chance to visit my maid’s village one more time. Interesting thing was watching them cooking GOOGIES on stove and how comfortable they were while cooking like this.

Villager women is  industrious and hard-working. They can do any thing now you can see in this age they are cooking on charcoal ,its not an easy job to cook on these stoves.
Women can easily paint houses and do LEPAI ( making floor of house with mud and dung) you can see in this picture they did this before my arrival. Because i was a special guest for them so they painted kitchen and did Lepai to give a clean look to their house.
