  • 1.5 tbsp Ghee

  • A pinch of Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • 1/2 tsp White sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Mix the rava flour, jowar flour, ghee, salt, sugar, sesame seeds and cardamom powder.
  2. Make a soft dough with milk.
  3. Cover and keep aside for 15 minutes.
  4. Roll the dough in to 1/2'' thick roti and cut into desired shapes.
  5. Deep fry in oil on medium heat.

  1. Hi Mam,
    I tried ur recipe and when i try to deep fry the cut shapes the dough became into powder in the oil itself.Can u please suggest where did i wrong

    1. Hi Parvathi,
      Hope you didn’t add extra ghee. If more ghee is added they may disintegrate. Make sure the dough is thick and not very lose.
