green chillies, cumin seeds and spice powders;

while the pakwan is a deep-fried puri like snack
made with a plain flour dough. Although it
appears to be like bhature, the addition of ghee
and milk to the dough gives it an exclusive
flavour and texture, which must be relished to be
understood!

I followed this recipe exact as it is and the results were just

amazing! It tastes exactly like we get outside or made at sindhi
houses. Although this is a sindhi breakfast, this is loved by
each and everyone. The dal is simple and tasty with minimum
number of spices, but it is meant to be that way. Topped with
onions and coriander, it completels the meal totally. You can
make the pakwans in advance and store it in an air tight
container.
