When I used to come from school many times my mom used to prepare vaghareli roti for me. Many times as a kid I denied eating roti and tend towards having chocolate cream biscuits. So as an alternative my mom used to prepare vaghareli roti for me. I just remembered those days and prepared Vaghareli roti again. Good alternative for kids.
