I have bookmarked from Nalini’s space for a long time. I forgot about it. When I watched this in Venkatesh bhat show decided to try it out. Since my kids love poori and they have moved avay from Maida Poori. they are more open to try different flavours and with Wheat. I love the urad dhal flavour in Kachoris. It give nice aroma to the food. It was the reason for me to book mark it. I add Roasted Urad dhal flour when making puri for chaats. My kids love it. So I am pretty sure kids would love this combo too except for the ajwan flavour in it. It is quite rare in my home to use Ajwan in cooking. When I tried it everyone loved the combo! Gravy is also without onion, Garlic and tomatoes
