    Simple and speedy recipe.
    But why the name Dhania???
    We always use the masala(dhania,chiili pdr) in 2:1 ratio
    DO we had to add more of dhania than other dry masala??
    OR adding of fresh coriander leaves??
    Thanks.

    That's because of the fresh coriander leaves which is in a more quantity than other ingredients.

    The dry spices can be adjusted according to desired taste.

    I hope you will like this recipe. Do let me know if you try it.

    So I got it right,its fresh coriander.
    What I'm following is somewhat the same as this,yours.
    I sprinkle dried methi leaves as final touch.It gives totally a new flavor and taste.
    Thanks.
