Method
- Make a paste with green chillies,coriander leaves,ginger garlic paste and keep it aside.
- Take a bowl and add the rajgira flour,rice flour,salt,green chilly paste,cumin powder and mashed potato and mix it well to form a fairly stiff dough. If water is required you may use a little.
- Rest the dough for fifteen minutes or less.
- Divide the dough into equal lemon sized balls for chapatis.
- Heat a flat greased pan.
- Take one ball of the dough and place it on a polythene sheet and cover the dough with the other sheet. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a round shape about four to five inches in diameter.
- Place this chapati on the hot greased pan and cook on low heat till it is slightly brown and turn the side.Pour about half a teaspoon of oil over and along the sides of the chapati so that the edges get brown. When both the sides are light brown and cooked, remove and continue with the next one.
- For puris roll them between the polythene sheets into thicker and smaller size and deep fry them till golden brown and crisp.
- Serve them hot with green chilly pickle or vegetable pickle or with dhal or any vegetable dish.
