oil for frying

🥗Healthier: air fryer

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Air frying reduces calories without sacrificing texture.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups of moth flour and 1 cup of urad dal flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of white chili powder (or red chili powder) to the flour and mix well.

Warm about 2 cups of water, but only use what is needed for the dough.

In a separate bowl, add 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ajwain to a portion of the warm water and stir.

Gradually add the salted water mixture to the flour while kneading to form a sticky dough.

Knead the dough for about 15-20 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

If the dough is sticking to your hands, apply a little oil to your hands to make it easier to handle.

Divide the dough into large balls and roll them into tubes about 1 inch thick.

Cut the tubes into small pieces using a knife or traditional nylon thread method.
