This is the dal chawal type of substitute for non-vegetarian
because of all the light flavoring and nutritious elements cooked in one pot.
Hashim loves to dig tandoori roti in a gooey mixture of lentils and meat. I definitely
like roti more than its white flour constituting partner called naan. During my
visit to Pakistan, I was quite fascinated by tandoors (the place where naans,
roti’s and the countless types of Pakistani breads are made and sold). I have
always watched the tandoor in fascination as the tandoor fellow would take a
ball of dough, roll it out, slap it onto a solid cushion with a moistened
surface which he would then lower into the oven to transfer the roti to the
rounded wall of the oven in startlingly fast pace, the roti would cook on the
heated wall swelling uneven in places with the pressure of the heat.
