For some reason besan in roti sounds so yummy and I wanted to give these Missi rotis a try and the resulting rotis where so different from my regular plain rotis; you can taste the besan in the background and once they cool they have a chila kind of texture that I love. I adapted DK’s missi roti recipe.

I made a mixed veggie curry with coconut milk; this recipe is also inspired from Vaishali’s carrot & peas curry with coconut milk. I used green tomatoes, broccoli, frozen green beans & peas.

Here’s how I made it:

  3. Hi Pavani, I’ve been a bit slow in visiting blogs lately because of all that’s been going on. I am glad you tried out a version of the peas-carrot curry. Your missi rotis look incredible.
