2tbsp ghee
Spices- red chilli powder, turmeric, coroander powder, salt, garam masala( optional)

METHOD

The maximum time is used in prepping.
The ' kand ' needs to b peeled, cut in flat rounds and submerge in water( to prevent it from getting darker)
Tip : oil ur hands before working on this (as its sticky)
