How to make dashmi or sweet roti

Dashmi is one of the many types of roti/bread made across many parts of india. Its quick recipe and  has very good shelf life .It is good to carry for traveling as it stays good for 2- 3 days.
Milk is used for making Dashmi dough and it makes it very soft and tasty. Use full cream milk for rich taste. Dashmi is  good way to include more milk in diet specially when kids hesitate drinking milk.Dry fruits like cashews /almonds  powder can also be added in dashami for increasing nutritious value.

Dashmi can  be  made  sweet  as  well  salty/savory.  For making sweet Dashmi sugar or jagery can be used as sweetener. While making plain/savory use salt instead of sugar. I am posting recipe of sweet Dashmi .
