Cheera Thoran

We don't get this variety of Cheera in the stores here.This was homegrown (by a family friend). It always reminds me of home .My maternal grandmother used to grow Cheera in her backyard and used to make this on most days .This is one of my favourite "Thoran" since childhood days. I love it with rice and curd.
