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

Make roti dough  
4 1/2 cups of flour
3 tablespoons of oil
4 tablespoons of ghee

Add Boiled water to form a soft dough



 Roll very small puri size roti and place the dhal ball in the center.



 Start closing up the dhal by using the roti dough



 Once completely closed press down to flatten .this is now ready to be rolled out



Sprinkle flour and with a light hand start rolling the roti out evenly , make sure the dhal does not oozz out do not
