Notes/Tips

Deliciously crunchy from the outside, but also softer inside, and easy to digest by all age group. The joy of biting fresh Roat is priceless. This has all goodness in them, including rich and creamy Nestle milkmaid, saffron, nuts, and ghee. Nestle milkmaid helps to get better consistency and taste.
