    @Fathima-they can easily last for 4 days,let them cool down properly before packing and stacking.

    The theplaas look very yummy. What procedure and precautions should we take when we take this along as travel food? And how long will it last. Thank you in advance for your reply Ma'am.

    @anonymous-theplas are much thinner then parathas,the preportion of ingredients and cooking method is also slightly different,chopped vegetables or leafy vegetables are added in the dough to make thepla ,not stuffed in like parathas.
