Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the puffed rice, gram flour or chick pea vermicelli together. Keep aside.
  2. 2
    Mix the wholewheat flour, semolina, onion seed powder and salt. Knead with water to form a medium-soft dough. Divide the dough equally into marble-sized balls. Roll each out thinly without coating with flour. Then prick all over with a fork.

    Heat the oil in a work; deep-fry the discs, a few at a time. When golden and crisp on both sides, remove with a slotted spoon. Drain the excess oil on absorbent kitchen towels. Repeat until all are done.
  4. 4
    Grind or blend all the ingredients together with water to make a thick, smooth paste. Keep aside.
  5. 5
    Add the flat pastries, potatoes, and onions to the puffed rice mixture.
  6. 6
    Now add the mint chutney and tamarind chutney, mix well and serve immediately.
