    2. Coriander powder, 1 tsp
    3. Garam masala, 1/2 tsp
    4. Hing, a small grain or powder (optional)
    5. Cumin seeds, 1 tsp
    6. Turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp
    7. Salt to taste
Preparation
  1. In a pressure cooker, add all the ingredients (except roti, coriander, oinion and peas) and put on high heat. When the pressure is about to come, slow down the heat and cook for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and add roti pieces and peas. Cover and keep for 5 minutes.
  3. Garnish with onion, coriander, and lemon juice.

Serve hot with yogurt or any cooked vegetable.

Tips:

The consistency of khakhara should not be too thin, it should be like that of a very very thick ketchup.

It is a good idea not to allow the cooker to whistle. When you feel that the cooker is about to whistle, slow down the heat. This way the ingredients will not fly away with the release of steam. This method although takes a slightly longer time but you will save a lot cleaning time. Also it is a silent way of cooking, not disturbing to older people and children sleeping as well.

You can use any left-over rotis.
