Alnebali,

My mom's from palpa, she makes chukauni all the time.

2 key ingredients are missing from the recipes above...

Garlic paste, and timmoor powder.

I usually add salt, red pepper, garlic paste and timmoor to the yogurt and mix well, then add boiled potatoes and onions, then "jhano" with dry chili, besaar and methi.

Chukauni + poleko sel roti = heaven.
