Kashmiri Roth Recipe
Roth is a sacred traditional Kashmiri cookie recipe prepared on the auspicious day of Pann. The cookies are prepared in the vessels which are kept only for its preparation and usually used once in a year on Pann Deun. Roth is usually prepared in the early morning by the elder lady in the house. Then the old story of Punn Duen is narrated to the family members and then Roth is offered as prasad to the family members.
Usually Kashmiri Roth is deep fried in the oil but I have baked it to make it a healthy option. Preparation of Roth doesn’t need a celebration; one can prepare it for their tea time snack as well and serve it with masala chai.
