Looks yummy!! interesting combo!! Besan roti is certainly an fresh alternative to plain roti!! Thanks for sharing!!

I am still getting oriented to the city!! I must say visiting Mustaffa has given me lot of comfort on food matters:)) In Zurich we had no such choice except a tiny Indian store!! Singapore offers lots of choices!!
