Few curry leaves, salt and oil as required.
PREPARATION
Take a mixie jar, add the garlic and dry chillies. Pour very little water and grind it. No need to grind too much. And crush the carom seed with a soft press. Chop the curry leaves.
Take a wide pan, add wheat flour, semolina, mix it. Add the carom seed, grinded mix, curry leaves salt as required and mix it. Put little salt in the beginning. You can adjust it later.
Add one tsp of sunflower oil. Mix well and knead a soft dough as we make to prepare chapati. Start by adding very little and add as needed. If the dough feels too tight. Wet your hand with little water and knead the dough. It should be smooth and when you press the dough with our fingers, you should be able to feel the impression. Keep the dough aside for 15-20 minutes. Roll out balls from the prepared dough. Place them on the chapati flattener or flat surface and flatten them with the help of a rolling pin. Keep using wheat flour in order to prevent the rolls from sticking to the surface. But be sure to use very little. Just sprinkling is enough. Because applying more flour makes the snacks burnt quickly while frying. So be careful to knead the dough with required water. Never exceed. Flatten the balls, take a sharp edge steel plate or any other steel pan. Press it on the flattened dough and open it to get a round circle. Take a knife and scratch out a triangle on the flattened dough and make scratches insides the triangles too. Place a kadai on flame. Add enough sunflower oil. Deep fry the prepared doughs. Add 3-4 four dough at once or as possible according to the wideness of the kadai.
Its crispy, spicy and yummy. Make it, you will really enjoy it when taken with hot tea or coffee.
