Some years back, while I and my better half  were working in Pune for a private institute, I received a call for a home tutor. I went to meet the person who was from Sudan,though not a Sudanese himself. I thought as the person had called and approached an English institute, it had  to do with communication skills, but to my big surprise, he said it’s going to be a long stint here in Pune and for daily mundane chores I need to speak Hindi.

He just wanted a Hindi tutor,I said you called the wrong place, the person said Mam can you speak Hindi, I said sure I  do,he said that is enough, I am not interested in learning grammar. The next 4 months my classes continued,we spoke on various topics, He also was an accomplished musician, we used to have at least one session on music, bollywood 😀

He used to make a very good Persian Irani chai and was a good cook,I mean how many of us get students who will sing,play music and cook good food😂

To come to the point, today’s recipe has 3 different styles or versions, I  will be sharing 2 here,I learnt this recipe from my that student, long time ago. The one I usually make is on the heavier side and I make it on special occasions. The one’s I am sharing Here are the light or snacks version. I am not sure how much I succeeded as a Hindi tutor to him,I surely benefitted with many recipes instead.

Notes

  • Pro – tip : The original Recipe which I learnt only had chili powder, salt and pepper. So while preparing I have kept the other spices as optional according to your taste preferences.
