Theme: Flat Breads and Pancakes
State : Uttarkhand
Lesu is a flat bread from Garhwal which is prepared by stuffing Mandua dough into Wheat flour dough and eaten with ghee. I had made mandua ki roti the last time I made a meal from Uttarkhand, but stuffing it to wheat dough was new to me. I do remember my friends posting the Lesu. I wanted to give it another twist by adding some spices and herbs, but I omitted as traditionally they do not add any spice to Mandua. It has to be eaten simply with ghee .
Lesu is also a very popular breakfast in the hilly region. This flat bread is a part of my Uttarkhand Thali.
