Sides for Indian Flat breads
We at home love both gravy and dry curries as side for our roti. Paneer capsicum subzi Zaffrani paneer and chili paneer are in house favorites. Next to paneer, it is potatoes and chana or black eyed peas gravy.
Kids prefer dry subzi when i pack roti for their school box. I make it like a roll, so it is easy for them to pick and eat. If i m making roti for dinner, then it is definitely gravy. Aloo hariyali, potatoes in green gravy and aloo ke jhol are my absolute favorites. Both the curries are easy to make for a crowd and tastes amazing.
