Nylon Khaman 💗
Easily the most popular and best savory dish from the state of Gujarat. This culinary delight can be had for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just as a snack. If you go easy on the tadka like I did, this can be a quick and healthy snack. Serve it with mint-coriander chutney, jaggery-tamarind chutney, fried chillies and you're guaranteed to slip into food coma
