Vaghareli roti


When I used to come from school many times my mom used to prepare vaghareli roti for me. Many times as a kid I denied eating roti and tend towards having chocolate cream biscuits. So as an alternative my mom used to prepare vaghareli roti for me. I just remembered those days and prepared Vaghareli roti again. Good alternative for kids.

Ingredients:
3 roti
3/4 tsp cumin seeds
3 tsp yogurt
1 chopped green chilli
3/4 tsp turmeric powder and red chilli powder
pinch of asfoetida
salt
1/2 tsp sugar
water

Method:
Make small pieces of roti and soak in water for 30 mins.
Heat oil in pan.
Add cumin seeds, turmeric and red chilli powder, green chilli, asfoetida, curd, salt and 1/2 cup of water.
Let it boil for 2-3 mins.
Add soaked roti pieces with water and 1/2 tsp sugar.
Allow it to boil for 5-10 mins until water is evaporated (Tip: Consistency of this dish will be like maggi).
Your Vaghareli Roti is ready to eat.
