Calories 532kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Besan / Chickpea flour
- 1 tsp Ghee
- 1 tsp Ajwain / Vaamu
- 1/8 tsp Asafoetida / Hing
- Salt to taste
- Water as required
- Cooking Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Wash and soak the ajwain for 10 mins, then grind using water. Sieve the liquid and you can use that water. You can also dry roast and make a powder.
- In a bowl, sieve the besan, ghee and salt. Mix well. Then add the ajwain water, hing and mix together.
- Slowly add water and mix well to get a loose dough that is soft enough to pass through the press. When you press down you should get it flowing easily but not very loose at the same time.
- Meanwhile get the press ready. Fill the press with the dough, the consistency of the mix will be more like a batter than a thick dough.
- Heat a pan with oil., when it becomes very hot, simmer the flame. Take the filled in press and directly press over hot oil in a circular movement for about 3 -4 circles.
- Cook over medium flame and turn over to ensure both sides are cooked to golden colour.
- Once done, remove to a kitchen towel.
Notes
Since this dough is only with besan, it becomes very difficult to press, so adding little more water will help.
