16. If making in stove top, heat a pan and drizzle few drops of ghee / butter / oil and toast the rolls on both sides until they turn golden brown; Transfer to serving plate and serve hot
17. If we are baking the rolls as I did, Preheat the Oven to 400F for atleast 10 mins
18. Brush few drops of Ghee / melted butter over the prepared rolls
    
    
    
    
     
19. Place them all in an ungreased baking tray
