Finely chop 1 onion, 2 fat garlic cloves, and a handful of fresh coriander leaves, and rinse a few curry leaves.

In a mixing bowl, combine 400 g chapati flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon carum seeds.

Add water gradually to the flour mixture until it forms a soft dough, kneading for about 10-20 seconds.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
