Hello Vijaya,
Kindly tell me, if I have extra logs, can they be refrigerated and used in a day?

Hi Meera, I have not tried storing them. Best results come with fresh dough.
This has become our new favourite snack at home. So easy to make and tasty as well. My sister in law is gluten allergic, so I made these for her by replacing wheat flour with rice flour and they still came out perfect. In fact, she liked it so much that I made two more batches for her to take along with her! Thank you so much for this gem of a recipe!
Hi Amar deep,
Happy to know that you replaced wheat with rice flour and got excellent results. Thanks so much for the validation and happy for your sister in law.
