I like to wrap it in thin rolled roties and enjoy!

Notes:

Changes I made to the original recipe are,I omitted methi seeds and kalonji seeds(onion seeds) in the tadka part. Also I added roasted methi seeds powder instead towards the end. Original recipe asked for amchur powder,I had no stock so added lemon juice. So if you can get the above items,you can try that too.
