ایک قسم کی پکوڑیاں

A type of deep-fried savory snack made from a batter, typically consisting of chickpea flour (besan) and various spices, with ingredients like vegetables, meat, or fish mixed into the batter before frying.

ہاتھ نہ پہنچے تھوہ کوڑی

"May your hand not reach even a worthless shell." This is a potent and deeply resonant Urdu curse or imprecation that invokes a state of extreme, debilitating poverty and failure upon someone. It is a wish for such complete financial and material ruin that the person is unable to acquire even the most worthless, insignificant, and readily available object—symbolized here by a "تھوہ" (thoh), a common, discarded seashell that holds no market value. The idiom paints a vivid picture of destitution so absolute that it renders a person powerless to obtain anything at all, not even a mere trifle.
