    1. Ah! Those are made a lot in Maharashtra. Love them. Such a treat they are with hot parantha 😀
      Our Mums seem to have similar tastes in cooking ❤

      1. I think so too G .. My mum is from A’bad and Dad’s side of family rajputs from Rajasthan , so lots of similarities 🙂

      2. Craving for some authentic Daal , bati , churma with sangri 🙂 . Thinking of making them but kids don’t like it that much 🙂

      3. So you sure have guessed by now what I am posting next 😉
        Got to carry some kair-sangri and mangodi back when I go home this time. Kids won’t have a taste for that na. Make a small batch for yourself and hubs 🙂

      4. Do you get karaundas there? Sangri works well with those too! Anything to give the tangy flavour really 🙂
        Make some for yourself darling..will make you miss home a little less. Wish I could send some. ❤

      5. Yes we do get karaundas here . It is called tendli or tindura here and thats what I use . I sometimes use dry mango 🙂

    1. Hi Cheryllyne
      These are of the mildly hot variety, not the sweet ones. If you have the very hot variety, skip the red chili powder.
      Thank you so much for dropping by 🙂
