Tips & Tricks

  4. Serve the rolls hot with chutney or ketchup for added taste.

FAQS

  1. Can I use fresh rotis instead of leftover ones?

    Yes, fresh rotis can be used, but leftover rotis work well as they are slightly firmer and hold the batter better.

  2. Can I bake the rolls instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) until crispy, but frying gives a better texture.

  3. What can I serve these rolls with?

    These rolls pair well with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup.

  4. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

    You can prepare the batter and rolls ahead of time, but fry them just before serving for the best texture.

  5. Can I skip the sesame seeds?

    Yes, sesame seeds are optional and can be skipped if you prefer.
