And when it is liked by your whole family, it means its a win win situation for any household cook😍 This is my grandmother's recipe, so you all can well imagine how treasured it is for me & my family. My go to recipe whenever I'm not in a mood to cook lengthy recipe 😀 & especially for week-night dinners. We love it with home cooked soft phulkas or roti, but this is equally yum with parathas or boil rice.
