How to cook it
-
Mix the jowar flour, bajra flour, rice flour, and besan in a large bowl with the chopped onion, cilantro, ginger, green chilies, turmeric, chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt.
-
Add a tablespoon of oil and enough warm water to bring the mixture into a soft, pliable dough.
-
Divide the dough into 4 portions and pat each one out directly on a greased tawa or a wet piece of parchment into a thin round, poking a few holes in the center with your finger for even cooking.
-
Drizzle oil around the edges and over the holes, cover, and cook on medium heat until the bottom is golden, about 5 minutes.
-
Flip carefully and cook the other side uncovered until crisp and browned in spots.
-
Serve hot with a squeeze of lime and your favorite pickle on the side.
