I made this for Adopt-a-Chef to use with the Chole Masala. It didn't seem right to make the Masala without this to put it on! These remind me in texture and density of Japanese pancakes (the history buff in me is thrilled since a lot of Japanese cooking came through India with Buddhism) and I greatly enjoyed making them. The recipe is very easy and very straight forward. It is basically a heavy dumpling to serve sauces on.
