Maida/ All purpose flour - 1 cup
Ajwain Seeds (Omam) - 1.5 tsp
Ghee / Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Water - for kneading
Oil - for deep frying
Method:
- 1.Add flour, ghee, ajwain and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well, then add water little by little and mak a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes. Knead again to form a smooth dough.
- Roll using chapathi roller to a thin sheet. Then cut small circles using a lid cover. Then prick holes with fork to avoid puffing up while frying.
- Heat required oil and then add in batches of 5-6 and deep fry until light golden on both sides. Drain in a tissue , cool down and then store in airtight container.
My Notes:
- Dont forget to prick holes with a fork , else the papdis will puff up.
- Adding ajwain gives a nice flavour to the papdis. Keeps well for 4-5 days when stored in airtight container.
