I have had this bread several times: My suggestions is put honey, or jam on. Or even very lightly powder sugar. Or great for a snack, breakfast or dinners to. Great for Taco's to. Since the Indian Bread is very light. I would make smaller circles for snacking on. Also -- after frying put on racks or paper towels to get exist oil off. |
