So, here it is. A very simple and yet delicious dinner combo.

4. Now, make a ping pong sized ball out of the dough and by applying little dry aata to it, roll it into a circlular shape

Serving

Serve them hot together at dinner with some cold dahi in a bowl. Super yummy !!!


Even kids love it as even though you are giving green leaves, you are mixing it with potatoes and everyone loves potatoes.


Enjoy this super yummy dinner any night. It is very quick too.


OK, that's all for today. Have a wonderful night everyone.


Take care,
