THIPPA ROTTI

This roti is a nutritious one. Some 25 years back I have learnt to cook this tasty roti from my friend. Usually this must be made with a thickness of 1 inch. It will be crisper outside and soft inside. But I have showed here a thinner version. It will be delicious to have this as a Tiffin item either for breakfast or night. Tomato kara chutney will be much suitable as a side dish.
