Ingredients

• Flattened rice (chura) - 100 grams
• Fresh fenugreek leaves (methi) - 50 grams, chopped
• Rice flour - 50 grams
• Besan (gram flour) - 30 grams
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Water - as needed

Steps

1. In a bowl, soak the flattened rice (chura) in water for about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped methi, rice flour, besan, green chili, ginger, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and salt.
3. Add the soaked and drained chura to the mixture and mix well.
4. Gradually add water to form a soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
5. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
6. On a flat surface, roll each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin, dusting with rice flour to prevent sticking.
7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil.

9. Serve hot with yogurt or your favorite chutney.
