It has been raining on and off since last week and today it was all cloudy. Though it didn't rain heavily, we had a few drizzles. This is the climate that makes us to feel like having some
Chat pata. And as I was expecting my Dh to return early from his session bit early ,so I wanted to make something new and delicious Since it was evening, I was not in the mood for snacks which consume my time as I don’t want to miss the view of the clouds and the pleasant weather.
So I quickly moved into the kitchen to check what was at handy and I found out some leftover chapathi from the lunch and just then mom called up and in between the conversation she told me a sweet dish which can be made by the left over chapathi or roti , as I was in no mood to make any sweet , I decide to make some hot out of it so used part of mom recipe and also the papdi chat recipe which I had the other day and atlast I had a wonderful outcome ,rather I would say a healthy snack whick can made very easily and also relishes the taste buds
