Notes

  1. Instead of using ginger garlic paste and chilly paste, you can grind and use the paste of ginger garlic and green chillies.
  2. You may use more all purpose flour than wheat flour for dough. I used more wheat flour.
  3. If using all purpose flour more, you need to knead the dough very well for few minutes.
  4. There won't be any need of chutney or cut onions when serving. Greek yogurt takes care of all the needs.
