Ingredients

Method

  1. Take gram flour in a parat, add black eyes peas flour, split skinless black gram flour, papad khar, salt, 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ cup hot water and knead well. Pour 2 tablespoons hot water and remaining oil and knead into a stiff dough. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside for 30 minutes. 
  2. To make the spice mix, take red chilli powder in a small bowl, add chaat masala, salt and powdered sugar and mix well.  
  3. Place the dough on a worktop, pound it with the help of a heavy pestle till the dough is soft and pliable.
  4. Divide the dough into small equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and transfer them into a bowl.
  5. Drizzle some oil and gently mix till each dough ball is covered with oil.
  6. Place each dough ball on the worktop and roll it out into a thin disc. Make vertical slits in the middle leaving some space all around the edge.  
  7. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai. Gently slide in the discs, one at a time, and deep-fry till puffed up, golden and crisp. Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle some spice mix over both sides of the discs.
  8. Allow to cool. Store in an air-tight container or serve on a serving platter.
