One serving, which consists of two pieces of czot, contains approximately 350-400 calories. The exact amount can vary based on the amount of ghee used for cooking.
Store leftover czot in an airtight container or a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. To serve, reheat them on a warm tawa for a minute on each side until soft.
