Sel Roti / Instant Sel Roti/ Nepali Bread
This sweet bread falls in the category of bread and not cake because it is made and served alongside vegetable and dals. The Nepali folks use a special tool to create large rotis. I made a mini version as it was a first attempt and also made the instant version of it. I got it approved with our Gurkha's wifey to be sure there is no compromise in taste.

2 tbsp sugar
