Ingredients

• Buckwheat flour - 100 grams
• Water - 75 ml
• Carom seeds (ajwain) - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, carom seeds, salt, cumin powder, and black pepper powder.
3. Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Add ghee to the dough and mix well. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
5. Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
6. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a small circle (approximately 5 inches in diameter).
7. Place the rolled puris on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped coriander on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
