Rodga~ A Sweet

Rodga ~ A Sweet

My little nephew, Ayan celebrates his third birthday on the 1st Nov and this is my way of celebrating with him!!!  

Baking for little Ayan !!Happy Birthday Ayan hope you enjoy your day at the amusement park!

My colleague Prashant loves sweets. One day he told me to make Rodga.

Rodga to my knowledge is wheat flour buns and eaten with brinjals and dal I said as much. Then he told me his mom used to make this recipe and I tried it.

First time I made it with dalia and it was crumbly and not what he remembered. So this time I made it with Bombay rava.

We all loved it. In fact I have to remake it soon!!

It tastes like Goan Bath or Bathk here but unlike in Bath there are no eggs used here.
