Khara Bread



 HI
Here is another savoury bread. I think people who have lived in Bangalore can relate their childhood having this bread at the Bangalore Iyengar bakery. I loved them when I was young and now my daughter seems to have taken a liking to this. Bake this bread and am sure you will love to have a slice of this too.
