  1. Take refined flour in a parat and add salt. Crush carom seeds between your palms and add. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour oil into it and mix well. Add 1 cup water and knead to a senu-stiff dough. Cover with a moist muslin cloth and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, shape them into balls and roll out each ball into thin sheets.
  4. Drizzle date and tamarind chutney on 2 sheets and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of the ground mixture over the chutney layer and spread evenly. Cover with the remaining sheets and press to seal the edges. Roll gently with a rolling pin.
  6. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai.
  7. Cut the rolled sheets into small squares with a serrated cutter and prick them with a fork.
  8. Gently slide these squares into hot oil and deep-fry on medium heat till golden brown and crisp. Drain on absorbent paper and allow to cool.
  9. Store in air tight container or transfer into a serving bowl and serve.
