Start by mixing 2 cups of maida (all-purpose flour) in a bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ajwain (carom seeds) to the flour and mix well.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the flour mixture.

Gradually add 1/4 cup of water to the mixture to form a hard dough; do not make it soft.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, then cover it with butter paper or a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, check the dough; it should be elastic and well-kneaded.

Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin circle, ensuring they are evenly thick.

Brush the rolled dough with a little oil to prevent them from drying out.

Stack the rolled dough on top of each other, about 8 to 10 pieces per batch.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan until it is hot enough to tolerate a finger dip.

Fry the stacked dough in the hot oil on low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.

Once they are golden, increase the heat for 2 more minutes to remove excess oil and achieve a perfect golden color.

Remove the fried papris and place them on a cooling rack to cool down, ensuring they stay crispy.
