What makes this recipe special?
I had this dish for the first time in a small café in Bangalore, India. As soon as I had it, I knew I had to replicate it at home. This dish is perfect for both breakfast and lunch.
Additional notes:
Garam masala is an Indian spice blend generally made of ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
