How To Make Meethi (sweet) Roti
2 cups of oil dhal
2 1/4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons ghee
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed elachi
a few strands of saffron
Soak dhal in warm water for an hour or overnight.
Add the dhal in the pressure cooker with enough water for the dhal to soften completely.
( if you do not have a pressure cooker use a pot and boil it )
Once the dhal is ready add this dhal to the pot and on low heat allow access water to run out
Now add the sugar and the ghee and boil it on low .
Continue stirring so the dhal does not form any lumps.
Add the elachi and saffron strands.
Cook the dhal until the dhal has come completly hard and set aside to cool.
Once the dhal is cooled down completely , make balls out of the dhal.
Approx. 25 to 27
