    We call this papdi in Gujarati. Stuffing it with the delicious coconut and poppy seed stuffing is a brilliant idea. Would love to try the recipe but will have to wait for the season.

    What a flavourful recipe! And so healthy too! All Iโ€™ve done with sem beans so far is to chop them and add to a non veg preparation. This idea sounds brilliant. I love steaming and stuffing vegetables. ๐Ÿ’“
