Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup chickpea flour

  • 1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon green chili and ginger paste

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • Salt to taste

  • 1-2 tablespoons water

  • Oil, for frying

Directions

  • Mix together all ingredients except the water and frying oil.

  • Knead the mixture. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch. If dough is too sticky, add more wheat flour. If dough is too dry, add water.

  • Set the dough aside for 15-20 minutes, covered by a kitchen towel.

  • Form balls from the dough, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

  • Roll each ball into thin, flat discs.

  • Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat.

  • Add each disc to the frying pan. When one side is half cooked, flip and add 1/2 or 1 teaspoon oil to the cooked side.

  • Flip again and apply 1/2 or 1 teaspoon oil to the other side. Flip again.

  • When the disc is cooked and browned, remove from the pan. Repeat for the remaining dough.

  • Serve with mango or lime pickles.
