  • 1½ Tbsp ghee
  • Water as needed (5 tbsp~)
  • A pinch of salt

  7. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so
  8. To make papdis roll into a thin layer. Pre-heat oven to 180 Deg C for 10 minutes
  9. Carve out papdis with a round 1" cutter/bottle cap
  10. Prick with fork, keep in pre-heated oven at 180 Deg C for 10 minutes or till they turn light golden
  11. Store in an airtight container. Use as required
Notes
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
