Preethi,

I decided to make Poori only when Soumya confirmed that you will be bringing a side dish like channa masala.
Your channa masala tasted yummy... yumsmiley Now, I know the trick of making it thick... Thanks for the recipe here... And, I never know that you are a food blogger... Hereafter, I will be visiting there often...
