Papad sabzi

Today I was watching mirch masala on star plus where he was telling about papad curry and this is the one which I make most of the time and that too with three different ways as it is the most easiest and fastest recipe that I know. Being married in rajasthan, this one is prepared in rajasthan extensively so here is typical rajasthan papad ki sabzi

The above two curries are quite common in every rajasthani household and third one is my version which I like the most :) Biggest benefit of this curry is that it comes so handy when I run short of ideas or not in mood to cook as it takes only five mins and this is the one which is made by such ingredients which are always at my home

Chilla with variation

Early morning sachin said he want something new for breakfast, aah only 30 mins to get ready too, with shower still pending, so thought of trying something new and fast, and in end it turned out really amazing...
We have tried chilla's a lot with different variations, like besan chilla, suzi chilla etc. But this time with little variation it became so tempting that I couldn't resist my self posting it here :)

Okie lot of prolouge, won't make u guys wait more. Here is the recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wheat flour (atta)

• water to make smooth batter (approximately 1 cup)
