Salt | 1 tsp |

Red Chilli Powder | 1/2 tsp |
Amchur or dried mango powder | 3/4 tsp |
Vegetable Oil | To Fry |
Method
- Rub 50 gm of oil in the flour. It should look like fresh bread crumbs.
- Add salt, chilli powder, ajwain and amchur to the flour. I also added some garlic paste but that is completely optional.
- Knead it in a tight dough.
- Leave it covered for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a wok.
- Divide the dough in 4 parts. Do not knead again.
- Roll each part of the dough in a thin roti.
- Prick it with knife so that they do not puff up while frying.
- Cut each roti in wedges or any other shape you like.
- Fry them on low heat till they are golden brown.
- Drain them on a paper towel.
- Serve it with yogurt and tamarind chutney.
Notes
- You can reduce the oil rubbed into the flour but it should be no less than 40 gm.
- If you want to eat it as papri, make it as thin as possible. Otherwise if you want to eat it as it is, you can make it thicker.
- You can change the spices as per your liking. For example, you could add black pepper powder or kasoori methi.
