Delicious and soft chicken bread which tastes so yummy and is perfect for this iftar season. Make this for your kids then will love it for sure.
This was on my bucket list for quite some time, finally, I made it a few weeks back. I had a bunch of herbs, so used those to make this dough and it was perfect. You can make this in different shapes.
I made this herbed dough and the filling was little creamy and spicy which tasted great. I will soon share an Indian version of a filling.
