Garlic Coriander Flower Bread/Flower Shaped Garlic Coriander Bread

Entering the 4th week of the mega Blogging Marathon under baking theme and for this week I planned to showcase the savory recipes and miscellaneous baking. Today's recipe is going to be yet another flavorful bread made with Indian flavors such as garlic and coriander.
