Tips
- Tukde can be made in two versions: sweet, eaten like a dessert, or savory, cooked with chana dal.
- The sweet version involves frying roti pieces in ghee with cloves, cardamom, and sugar, then adding water to simmer.
- The savory version is cooked with chana dal, spices, and topped with fried onions and fresh coriander.
- Leftover rotis were traditionally dried and then used to make tukde, reducing food waste.
