Masala papri

Yesterday My mother was making dahi baray and I wanted papri with it, searched in the kitchen.. no papri.. =(
My brother was asleep so I had to run my mind and wanted to make a crispy papri.. I used to make aalo k samosay and make its roti on my own.. so from that it clicked my mind and I started working on it and ALHAMDULILAH it turned out great!!
Here comes the recipe it can be used as a snack with ketchup or yoghurt dip too!!

Ingrediants:

All purpose flour   1 cup

Salt                        1/2 tsp

Red chilli flakes    1/2 tsp

Zeera                     1/2 tsp

Oil                         for frying

Method:

Knead flour with all spices and rest for 20 mins. Heat oil in a vok meanwhile make small balls and roll it as thin as possible. When the oil is hot *not smoking* put in the roti and let it cook on one side carefully turn it because this is the point where it can break. Light brown on both sides, drain the oil out of it. Enjoy with chanay ki chat or any dip as a snack!! =D
