• Add the ½ teaspoon Ajwain, Heeng and Salt (as per taste) to the mixture.
• Also, add finely chopped onions, tomato, and garlic cloves (5-6) to the mix.
• Preheat the frying pan brush it with oil, and pour some batter on it.
• Cook on both sides till it’s golden brown. And voila, your mixed dal Chilla is ready to serve.

And, my kids like a wrap and so I also add stuffing like chopped onions, grated cottage cheese (paneer), lettuce and serve it to them.

Every time I cook eggs, I hum the lyrics to the song – “आओ सिखाऊँ तुम्हें अंडे का फंडा
ये नहीं प्यारे कोई मामूली बंदा”.
