A member asked:
Is it healthier to make roti prata with margarine instead of butter? roti prata is pretty much fried dough in the shape of a pancake.

No,: Not all margarines are the same, trans fats are the worst fats and saturated fats are not now considered to be as bad as previously thought. Once you take an oil and make it solid it becomes less healthy.
