Poori Sabzi



Poori Sabzi

The schools have re-opened after Christmas vacation and today being the first day , I asked  my son what he would like to have in his tiffin box, with a grin on his face he asked me, Mama can you prepare "Poori sabzi" for me. I obliged to his cute wish as I wanted him to go to School happily, after such a month long vacation. With this wish he had another in line , that I should take the snaps of the poori and have it posted in the blog as I do with other dishes.

He got the camera and there I was taking pics after pics  of pooris with my son ,even though it was getting late for him. When we were done with the photo sessions, he told me that Mom, please upload the pics only when he is back from school. 

So this one is from my loving and adorable son as I never thought that I would post "How to prepare poori sabzi" since according to me its a very simple and common dish made in every Indian household.
