Description

My friend fathima had come to Coimbatore for shopping once when I was there . She stayed in her sister – in – law Farzanas( farju , thats how she addresses her ) house . It was a 2 day trip . The entire day we used to shop together and hang around . It was great fun . On her way back to Salem she dropped into my place to bid me bye . She handed a box to me asking me to eat it . The box was warm . Opened to check what it was . Saw 3 pav bhajibuns toasted on all sides . I was like where is the veg gravy (bhaji ) for the pav ( buns ) . Called her to find out if she forgot to drop the gravy . She laughed her guts out telling me it’s stuffed bun made by Farju . Dum me , then I tasted it . God it was so very yummy . I tried it once I got Back home . Turned out well and every one liked it .the stuffed buns Which fathima had given had onion masala filling with 1/2 boiled egg inside . Here my filling is with chicken and vegetables .

Happy snaking on a wonderful Sunday.
