GJ, we don't even have to puzhinjify Kugan. She is so generous and warm! I've seen many ladies who will not give the recipe, or if they do, they will leave out a key ingredient. Kugan, thanks!

Thank you, thank you Lakme:notworthy::notworthy:
Please do not hesitate to ask me for any recipes.
Some how I will get it for you all.
At the same time, I too will learn about the recipe.
I will try it out before posting the recipe, if it is a vegetarian one:-D
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Dear Rose, thank you very much for your pm and the recipe.
You have asked me to try out the roti which you had in your friend's house.
You were worried about the chick pea flour and the coriander powder added.
Well Rose, I have rewritten the recipe and cooked it for dinner today.
Actually it is a wholesome meal. We had it with sambar.
You can have it with any gravy or vege side dishes.
I will post the recipe, try it out. Thanks for the recipe Rose.
Take care, Kugan98
