Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using ghee instead of regular butter when making the dough.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the dish by adding more or less sugar according to your preference. Taste-testing is key!
  • If you find the dough too sticky, lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour while kneading.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
