Turning <em>rotis<\/em> in milk cakes might sound impossible, but the user shared a the detailed recipe.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Here is how <br \/><\/h2>\n<p>In the video shared by the account user, a man heats a pan full of oil and fries leftover <em>rotis<\/em> until they become crispy and golden brown. He then breaks the fried <em>rotis<\/em> into small pieces and grinds them into fine crumbs using a mixer.<\/p>\n<p>Next, he caramelizes sugar in a pan over medium heat until it turns golden-brown. After adding milk to the pan and stirring until a smooth paste forms, he incorporates the ground <em>rotis<\/em> into the mixture. The resulting paste is spread onto a butter-paper-lined tray, allowed to cool, and cut into squares, creating what can only be described as delightful roti milk cakes.<\/p>\n<h2>Netizens hit back with &#8216;roti cake&#8217; and more<br \/><\/h2>\n<p>However, despite the innovative recipe, not everyone was impressed with the results.While some called it an insult to the actual milk cake <em>mithai<\/em>, others pointed out how this recipe provides a way to turn something healthy into unhealthy. Others have also mentioned the much simpler and traditional way of eating leftover <em>rotis<\/em>, that is, with chai &#8211; something which requires far less effort.&#8221;Can someone give it another name, you&#8217;re looting the respect of milk cake,&#8221; commented one user; while another joked, &#8220;Day 4 of &#8216;unhealthifying&#8217; a healthy food.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In relation to renaming it, one user suggested the name &#8220;Roti cake&#8221; and another &#8220;Choorma.&#8221; On the other hand, another user quipped and called it &#8220;atta ka halwa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/leftover-rotis-into-milk-cake-instagram-cooks-shows-how-sparking-netizens-backlash\/articleshow\/112800082.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While cooking and sharing meals are deeply rooted in the Indian culture and tradition; managing leftovers are often a challenge.
