CRISPY DELIGHT






 INGREDIENTS

 Maida Flour- 2 Cups  
 
 Ghee  -  5-      tsps

Hot oil   4     tsps

Kasoori Methi-  3 tsps

Cumin seeds-    3 tsps

Ajwain seeds    3tsps

Salt according to taste. 


 

  Preparation

In a bowl add maida and all the other ingredients and knead to a tight dough. While preparing dough add water little by little and take care so that dough doesn't turn loose, other wise you don't get crispier dish. Now divide the dough into small balls and roll into small chapatis.Apply oil on the balls instead of flour,as the oil used for frying may change color.Poke each chapati with a fork before frying so that it turns crispier and air escapes through the pores and it avoids puffing.Now gently fry all the chapatis on a medium flame. Store the dish in a air tight container.
