Hi Kugan
Hope you had a very happy Deepawali. I tried the gulabjamun recipe and it was a very happy outcome. Thank you.
Could you please post recipe for roti chanai with good instructions when you have some time? I enjoyed the roti so much when we were in Penang last year and the art of spreading the roti like a cloth is magic.
Regards
Shanthy
