Masala Thepla

Breakfast? Tiffin-box?? Long-distance journey??? All problems… One solution!!! 
Roll it with Chhunda… Have it with ‘Chai ki Chuski’… Or grab one with ‘Chilled Yogurt’.. It gives a quick bite at anytime with the feel of eating something substantial! To me, it reminds of all long train journeys… :)
