Notes
Few considerations while cooking and serving -
- Since vegetable oil is not used to prepare fasting food, we used clarified butter to cook. You can as well use groundnut oil in place of Clarified butter.
- Rajgira Puri will have rough corners since the dough is not that smooth. This is due to the nature of the flour used in preparing it.
