TIPS,SUGGESTION AND VARIATION:

 Firstly, i have made this recipe using chiroti rava or also known as fine rava but you can also make it with plain flour. traditionally the recipe is always made with rava but it is much easier to make it with plain flour. it is much easier to make a dough with plain flour but may not offer the same taste as former. 

 Secondly, deep fry them one by one in a deep bottomed frying pan and do not overcrowd it. you may consider frying multiple only if you have a large frying pan. 

 Lastly, while rolling i have used butter, but generally, vanaspathi dalda or softened ghee is used for good flavour. but soft butter should be equally good for this recipe.
