This breakfast dish is a simple and filling option that one might try if they are bored of their regulars. Also, our healthy take on it is to replace chickpea flour with jowar (sorghum) flour. This wholesome dish will be surely winning hearts, if it a kid or an adult. While, jowar boosts digestion and aids heart health, tomatoes are great source of antioxidants and also adds colour to your plate.
