My kids love chapati or parotta. It is one of most preferred dinner. They love to have it with korma / salna. I do make this recipe even before I start the blog however I just called it as korma. If you have all the vegetable it is so easy to make. Even though it is traditionally served with parotta I can have this with idli or chapati or roti or even bread.
