SWEET SINDHI FLATBREADS (MASALA LOLI)
Entered for ZWT. From Madhur Jaffrey's "World Vegetarian." Highly flavored; Because the onion, garlic, ginger, fresh cilantro, chiles and tomatoes give off liquid, it is best to limit the amount of water in the dough, even though it might initially seem to be too dry. If the dough is allowed to sit for a few hours, the moisture spreads. Serve these lolis with a meal or with tea. Prep time includes rising time.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA MASALA
I had some leftover bread that has a short shelf-life. So, I guess this spicy recipe goes well with it. Decided to add sweet potato to the original chana masala, as I didn't want that to go to waste, too. And it tasted good!
