Method

for tacos

Pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees.
combine all the ingredients and knead a semi stiff dough. Make 2" diameter puris and give them tacos shape by placing 1" thick, 9" long and 1.25" broad, smooth paper sheets or hollow box in-between .
Use parchment or butter paper on face of the box and grease it as well to prevent any sticking of the puris on paper.
3 to 4 puris can be clinged on to one such paper template and 3 to 4 such sticks can be baked at time, one besides other in a regular size oven.
bake it for 15 minutes or until crisp and light golden.
