It is popular in desserts like ras malai, malai peda, and kulfi. But have you ever heard of Malai Roti? Imagine the buttery flavour converted into the form of a flatbread. Recently, a video featuring Malai roti grabbed many eyeballs on Instagram. It was shared by the influencer @youtubeswadofficial and was shot in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The caption read, “The most famous Creamy Roti. It is necessary to try once in life (The famous Malai roti. Try it once in your life).” A note atop the video read, “This pack will not be eaten (Definitely you would not have eaten this).”
