Description

This is an easy dessert which can be made a few days in advance and kept refrigerated.

Note

1) The roll could be cut into 27 roundels.
2) You can use any plain biscuit (without cream). I used arrowroot biscuits.
3) Jaggery can be replaced with sugar.
4) I browned butter a bit to get a nutty flavour.
