Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the recipe.

Measure 1 cup of chickpea flour (besan) and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add less than 1/4 teaspoon of carom seeds (Ajmayan) and less than 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Pour in less than 1/4 cup of water and mix well.

Add 4 tablespoons of oil to the mixture and continue mixing until the dough is formed.

Knead the dough until it is slightly firmer than chapati dough but softer than bakery dough.

Preheat oil in a wide frying pan for deep frying.

Flatten the dough with the base of your palm and cut it into strips using a thin-bladed knife.

Fry the strips in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

Optionally, roll the dough between plastic wraps and cut with a pizza cutter for easier handling.

Prepare green chilies by cutting them from the center, sprinkling with salt and oil, and microwaving for 30 seconds.
