This one’s easy, simple, quick and absolutely flavourful with the finest aroma of the fresh Methi leaves, Coriander Leaves, topped with some butter & savoured with the Red Lentils- which’s itself quite flavoured, however simple way you may prepare it...!!!
I simply love it

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
