Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour or Atta
  • 3 ½ tablespoons Kasuri Methi
  • ½ teaspoon Chili Paste Green
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Chili Powder Red
  • 2 tablespoons Oil
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons Ghee or Butter for cooking
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Soak kasuri methi in half a cup of boiling hot water for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, green chili paste, coriander powder, red chili powder, oil and salt. Remove kasuri methi from the water and add that too (don't throw away the remaining water).
  • Knead this together with water into a smooth, firm dough. Add water as required. The dough should neither be too tough, nor too soft and should be kneaded well.
  • Heat a tawa or griddle. Take some dough (the size of a golf ball) and roll it out into a circle. Place this on the griddle, and as soon as you see small spots appearing on the surface, flip it. Now spread a little ghee (or butter) on the surface and flip again. Do the same on the other side and fry till cooked. You only need enough ghee to sort of wet the surface.
  • Follow the same instructions till all the dough is used. Or you could keep this dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve hot with some dal, curds, chutney and pickle.

Notes

  1. Feel free to add some finely chopped onion or even grated carrot to make this recipe. 
  2. You can keep this dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store in an airtight container. Cover the ball of dough with a teaspoon of oil, this will prevent it from forming an outer crust. 
  3. Serve with Raita and achaar!
