Ingredients
- Whole Wheat Flour 1 cup
- Plain Flour Maida 1 cup
- Fresh methi 1 Bunch
- Crushed Green Chillies 2-2.5 tsp
- Turmeric Powder 1 tsp
- Jeera Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
- Unsalted Melted Butter / Oil 3/4th cup
- Water 1/2 - 3/4th cup
- Salt To Taste
Instructions
- Wash Methi Leaves a couple of time under running tap water and pat dry with kitchen towel.Chop it into small pieces and keep it aside.
- Mix Wheat Flour , Plain Flour , Green Chillies , Methi Leaves , Turmeric ,Cumin Seeds, Salt , Water and knead into a hard dough.
- Melt unsalted butter or hot oil and add it to the dough above. Knead a couple of times with hand and obtain the dough.
- Divide them into equal balls.
- Pinching each ball one at a time , flatten & roll it out to 1/4 " thickness using a rolling pin.Using a knife cut it into diagonal lines ( diamond shape) or the desired shape you like.
- Deep fry them in a low flame until it turns brown. ( It took me atleast 5-6 minutes to deep fry each batch) .
- Drain them in paper kitchen towel . Once cooled store them in an airtight container.
Notes
Dough needs to me much harder than the chapathi or poori dough.
According to my mum , the size of the diamonds needs to be much smaller. ( This was the first comment she gave me after I made them n showed her over the webcam) .

Dear sandhya
I am a regular visitor to your site. I like this type of recipes, simple, fast to make, keep a jar full to munch any time, and above all reminds me of Mom.
Of course it used to be just plain salted ones or with Azwain or just crystallized sugar coated.
Thanks
