This is a very interesting and simple recipe which needs no vegetables. It is very easy to make and it goes very well with chapathi, poori and roti. I prefer making this when I am tired or feel bored to cook. I had some whey water left after preparing paneer. So I used it instead of water in this recipe. It came out delicious.
