Dhokray or Dhokday is a typical South Asian dish prepared using bajray ka ata, kala and safed chunay (black and white chickpeas), bengan (brinjal), hara dhanya (corriander leaves), piyaz (onions), aloo (potatoes), namak (salt), mutter (peas), methi ki bhaji and cooked with oil. It may also have a fish or a meat piece added separately to provide a complete taste. Other winter vegetables may also be added according to the taste of the cook or chef.

Green chutney is made using khopra (coconut), hara dhanya (corriander leaves), lehsun (garlic), namak (salt) and hari mirch (green chillies).

This dish and chutney were sent in by our good neighbour who wishes to remain anonymous. This was sent today on the occassion of Birthday of Prophet of ALLAH, Hazrat Muhammad (salau alihi wasalam).

Long before I started travel blogging I was doing this foot series on my travels. I cannot remember clearly why I started this but I did. And some of my friends really liked the idea. Since then, from time to time, I have continued doing this. But I am sorry to say that many great places were missed, where foot photography would have been outright dangerous.

p.s This sandal was later stolen from outside a local masjid near my home. I must report that these were one of the best travel partners I ever had. Made by Sputnik.
