Rubbing in the ghee is essential to make a flaky dough
Resting the dough for a while helps in making the papdis more flaky and light
Add only jeera or only ajwain. These do help in digestion and add a lot of flavour
Pricking with fork all over papdis helps them not to puff up too much but still be flaky and light
These can also be consumed as snacks with tea, just like that
This recipe can be doubled or tripled
The papdis can also be deep fried in hot oil
