After a break during April, we decided to make Sev Khamani from Gujarat. Vaishali suggested this recipe. Things have been so hectic that I haven't been able to upload the pictures. So sharing the linky tool so that other members who did this challenge can share their link.

 

Will be uploading the pictures soon.
