Matar ki Tahari
This recipe also comes from my Sasural’s Khana Khazana!! In Uttar Pradesh, it’s a winter delicacy and specially prepared on the auspicious occassion of “Makar Sankranthi”.It’s a Harvest Festival!

Hence this Tahari also contains lentils like Urad and Chana dal along with Matar.

Disco Anda Fry
I believe street food has been a great leveler in India!!

And if you thought that food innovation is best left to professional chefs, then you are wrong! These tapri walas of India are masters of variations too!!!
