Recipe Notes

Contact Chef: Payal Jethani

Tips:  Usually the pakwans are made with all-purpose flour only. But to give it a healthier touch we added all wheat flour and Semolina. Make the pakwans in bulk and remember no sweet tamarind chutney ( meethi imli ki chutney). It tastes great only with Tamarind water or Imli Ka Pani

Served With: Finely Chopped Onions, Finely Chopped Green Chilies, Coriander Chutney & Tamarind Water.
