Dev, bread making is very easy, if you try once.
Then you will have the confidence.
Nice to make your own bread for tea time.
I made the other day masala bread.
It was over before I can take the picture.
I will be doing it again soon, so the picture will come.
Pizza too is very simple to make.
Just have the sauce ready and the things.
I make often for the children.
Try it once Dev, you will not regret.

In a dry grinder, grind the fried red chillies and the roasted channa dal,
to powder.
Then in a wet grinder, first grind the grated coconut and the coriander leaves.
Once the coconut is ground, add in all the other ingredients and grind

Heat a pan, and add in the seasonings as per list.
Pour on top of the chutney and mix.
