Pitod ki Sabzi is a traditional Rajasthani dish. This is similar to gatte ki sabzi but more delicious and tastes similar to paneer ki sabzi, but does not use any vegetable or paneer. Rajasthan is a desert state with little vegetation and that is why people are accustomed to using fresh vegetable alternatives. If there are no vegetables in your fridge and you still want to make something special then do prepare Rajasthani Pitod ki Sabzi.
Dal roti is a staple food in North India. It is a wholesome food, and usually people eat it for dinner or lunch. Dhabas are roadside restaurants and dal roti is the most famous and popular dish there. Dhabas serve dals with tandoori roti (flatbread made with whole wheat and traditionally cooked in tandoor (cylindrical clay oven) hence the name tandoori). It’s almost always served with some ghee or butter on top.
Dal roti is fairly easy to make and I tried making tandoori rotis at home (using a toaster instead of the usual tandoor) and it came out pretty well. All the ingredients are typically available at home.
We all crave for chaats. Dahi Vadas is one of the popular chaats. However, being health conscious, we also want to avoid eating fried foods.

You can satisfy your cravings and stay healthy too.
