  7. Hi Daagh,

    Just yesterday I made your rotts and they were very good.

    My question is do we let the dough sit for few mins. or do we bake right away. I baked right away and I liked them, but there were a bit hard. Are rotts supposed to be hard?

    And how did you make your rotts look so nice and round, mine were round but not perfect looking like yours.

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Next time I'll try to brush the rots with milk+Saffron solution, thats what they used to do in India.

    yes, roths are supposed to be harder.. so you got it right the first time :-)

    yeah they do apply saffron and milk over the roths...

    regarding shape... i am sure you will get them perfect the next time.
