Tip

*if you have extra Rotis just roll them up , cling wrap or wrap with aluminium-foil and put them in a box in a refrigerator. They will remain fresh for up to a week . To reheat them , slightly brush with water on both sides and heat them on a plain Tava or steam them for about 5 mins like idlies . Then you can use them as Kothuprata or Rotis

*if using minced mutton , first cook the mutton with turmeric , chilli powder , coriander powder and salt and then use in the recipe . Chicken can be used directly as it cooks faster .

* I cook my minced mutton , bring them to room temperature , portion size them in ziplocks and freeze them , this way they are ready for use when needed in such recipes .

*I soak green peas in large batches , overnight. Drain , air dry them , and freeze . This way it is ready to use in recipes like this .
