My mother used to make this recipe for me as I was a sportsperson during my school days and was not allowed to eat any fried or fancy snacks item unlike other kids. I used to tell my mother that my tiffin is the most boring. Then, she learnt this non-fried and healthy high protein recipe. She used to give this to me in the tiffin and all my friends used to wait for my tiffin.
