Oats dosa with drumsticks sambhar

Oates Dosa

There's nothing more inviting than hot South Indian breakfast: strong filter coffee, piping hot drumstick sambher with little bits of coconut, tasty coconut chutney gunpowder and golden-crisp Dosa! I love dosas and in fact I'm planning to make one today in breakfast.

Jaggery Coated roasted chickpeas

Ingredients:

GURWALE SHALGAM ( SWEET AND TANGY TURNIPS) punjabi style

Gur is Hindi/Punjabi for jaggery. This creamy version from Punjab is one of our favourites.
