  1. Hi,
    I truly love all the recipes you post on your website.
    This picture specially took my attention and I was wondering whether I can substitute chick peas instead of potatoes in here.(Not a big fan of potatoes though) If it’s possible what are the alterations
    that I should do? Also will it go along with kottu roti?

    Thanks much.
