Notes
💡 Notes:
🧊 Storage:
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
- You can substitute chicken with tofu, paneer, or beef.
- Traditionally made on a hot griddle with metal spatulas — the clatter is part of the charm!
- Leftover roti works perfectly and gives better texture.
