Since both these two ingredients have their own place in my pantry, i couldnt stop myself dishing out this fara once i got my secret ingredients from Poonam. Kids enjoyed this fara with spicy garlic chutney. Trust me those sesame seeds will bring the nuttiness to this amazing to this beautiful dish. Thank u Poonam for giving me a chance to dish this Fara at home.
