Cheesy Chickpeas Puff - #MonsoonMojo

We usually make puffs with different fillings, i have already tried from sweet to savoury version with various interesting fillings. But this time, i couldnt resist to give a try with an another interesting filling which i simply prepared with a spicy chickpeas masala. Puff with chickpeas masala sounds bit different na, but trust me they came out extremely delicious and you cant just stop with one puff. Once again the filling i went for this puff is seriously an easy one. No chopping, no sauting for hours, just some mashed chickpeas with simple spices is quite enough to finish the chickpeas filling. Since i had some grated cheese in my fridge, i topped the chickpeas masala with those grated cheese while filling the puffs. Those melted cheese gives an excellent texture to this already very flaky puff.Sending to Kalyani's Monsoon Mojo Event..

I never get bored of making one pot meal, actually one pot meal makes the life easier and you can happily feed your family without any hassle.I have already shared many varieties of one pot meal but still they are so many varieties of one pot meal to share. One of my recent trial with masoor dal was this irresistible sambar bath. Sambar is a routine dal based gravy at home, we either make sambar with toor dal or moong dal else with a combination of both dals. I cook very rarely with masoor dal,dunno why i never been attracted by this dal. Recently my H went for Indian grocery and picked a packet of masoordal instead of toor dal, obviously i have to finish the packet of masoordal. Hence i tried my hands with masoor dal sambar bath.
