Therefore, for your health learn how to make Mandhal ke Behdwaan.

Ingredients:

Mandhal flour: One bowl

Boiled Arbi (Colocasia): 3-4 roots

Oil for spreading on tawa before placing roties

Spices:

Jeera (Cumin)

Ajwain (Oregano)

Coriander Powder as well as chopped green leaves

Green Chilli finely chopped

Salt to tatse

Method:

Like we knead corn flour to make roties similarly, knead Mandhal flour and keep it aside. Then prepare stuffing for the roties by mashing boiled Arbi roots and adding all the spices according to taste.

Make round ball of kneaded flour and then flatten it little. Place the stuffing on top of the flattened ball of flour and close it to the middle by folding all the edges. Make a ball again and then flatten it to a bigger size of roti.

Brush oil on hot tawa, place this roti/ Behdwaan on it and cook the roti from both sides.

Serve hot with butter, pickle or glass of lassi. Choice is yours!
