Taj Mahal is one of the popular restaurant in Mangalore. I have mentioned the name in my earlier posts too.It is a kind of tradition in Mangalore where men have their one round of early morning breakfast in the restaurant followed by evening snacks where they also meet their friends there and have good time talking and eating tasty snacks.And theek rotti or spicy rotti is a specialty there.I adapted this recipe from my friend Mrs Suphala Shenoy who is a very good vegetarian cook.Thanks a lot Suphala for this tasty recipe.
