½ cup whole wheat flour/gehun ka atta
½ teaspoon carom seeds/ajwain
½ teaspoon jeera/cumin seeds

- Sieve both the flours in a wide bowl.

- Add ajwain, jeera, coarsely crushed black pepper powder, ghee and salt. Mix well.

- Now gradually add water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside for 15-20 minutes.

- Divide the dough in 2-3 equal parts and roll out the first ball into a big sized round of medium thickness. Cut small puris using cookie cutter or small steel bowl. Repeat the process for making the remaining puris.

- As we have mentioned earlier, you can also divide the dough into equal small balls and roll out each ball into small puris.
