Method
- Take wheat flour in a bowl. Rub about 1/4 cup of ghee in the flour. To test, make a fist with the flour and drop it in the bowl. If the flour holds shape, ghee is enough otherwise add some more ghee and rub it in the flour. This process is called Moyaning.
- Bind the flour with about 1/2 cup of water. Water should be just enough to bind the flour.

- Divide the dough in 4 equal parts and flatten it.
- Roll the dough in thick rotis.

- Add sugar and cardamom powder to the bread crumbs and mix well with your fingers.
- Churma is ready.
