    Seeing this itself I decided I will make it someday soon as it seemed so healthy and flavorful. I tried it and it was really yummy and had a unique nice aroma. The best part is that it remains fresh when kept in fridge even for the next day. As curd is added it remains soft too, I didnt even add oil.
