Cooked Rice – 1/2
Coriander Leaves – 1 small bunch

Method:

- Make slightly smaller sized balls of wheat flour dough and keep aside.
- Place one wheat flour ball on a rolling board, dust it with some flour, roll it slightly with the rolling pin to make a small disc.

- Place this on a preheated griddle, sprinkle some ghee/oil on top. Flip the side, sprinkle some ghee/oil on the other side. Roast both sides until small brown specks form on either sides.
- Serve hot with thick curd and pickle.
