Tricking common cold

I'm a big lover of bananas. But having it during common cold can be counter productive. So, I experimented a bit and came up with this amazing recipe to eat my banana and trick cold too.

Here's what you must do.

* make chapatti as usual. But roll out a bit thick.

* slice banana in thin rounds and layer it about the middle of the chapatti.

* sprinkle a little crushed Kasoori Methi or chopped mint leaves, and grated jaggery.

* fold in the edges to wrap the filling completely. Press lightly and roll out again to spread the stuffing.

* cook as usual. Serve hot.
