Jingee Sambar and Naan Roti
Sambar is a South Indian dish traditionally made with moringa, however, I had some jingee (chinese ochro) and it made a great substitute.
This was also my first attempt at making Naan at home. My kids love Naan especially since it is so soft and pillowy, they eat it alone sometimes. The recipe I used produced excellent Naan both in taste and texture and I made it on the tawa.
I did not butter the top so it looks like Sada roti but it is so different!
