  Fried sweet bread/ Meethi tikiyaan   

Every year I eagerly wait for 22 rajab to enjoy this delicious meethi Tikiyaan. It  is popularly  known  as  koondey  ki nazr (offering or  to make spiritual vow.)  . It has  been  dedicated to the memory of our Imam Jafar- e- Sadiq a.s.

It is believed  that this  Nazr (offering or  to make spiritual vow.) brings prosperity and remove hardships  in  the family .This custom is a social get together, as people go to each other house to eat this Nazr which brings  them together. 
Here is the recipe  of Meethi tikiyaan  for you from my mother's  kitchen .
