In search for the different (slightly sweet actually for my lil.one) subjis for chappathis, I found this recipe in a cookbook...I tried it for today's dinner and it came out well...It was very tasty and everyone liked it...Hing is a important ingredient in this recipe,since we are adding peanuts...Also brown sugar / jaggery also nullify the effects of peanuts...Give it a try if you are bored of usual kurmas...sure you will like it...Try and enjoy with hot chappathis...
