Submitted by Girl from India

"This is a regular at my home. Frankly I cannot have too many of these but my husband can make a meal of these. Try it if you dare!!! My mum's cook (Kanchi) taught me how to make these. Servings are a joke actually ;) I do not know how many will eat a second but I have counted my brother and husband and the like!"

This is a favourite of the guys who work with dad in Oman. I used to make this for them and serve it alongside samosas and chutney. They just loved it! My mom enjoys this too. You have the recipe down pat perfect! :)
