Guyanese Roat || Rote || Lord Hanuman Sweet || Jhandi Sweet- Episode 15

Roat is a sweet biscuit fried in ghee that is usually made for Jhandis or Hindu prayer services. It is made as an offering to Lord Hanuman, who is the symbol of strength and energy. This recipe isn't the healthiest, but a piece of roat and some tea is one of the best things ever. It is something special to make once in a while. The outside of the roats are dark brown and crunchy, and when you break into them they are flaky and moist in the interior. As always if you were making this for prayers you would want to use a "clean" pot and spoon or utensils that have never been used to cook meat or meat products. I hope you all enjoy this one!
