Description

A very thin soft white colour roti which is my favourite . I first got to taste this in surya hotel in Coimbatore ( now the vivantha taj ) . I think , I was in the 4 th standard then . During holidays every Sunday lunch we used to go out . ( mostly to surya hotel as it was the best then ) surya hotel was one place that introduced me to a lot of new North Indian and Chinese dishes . Recipe and picture courtacy my daughter ANISHA .
