Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
salt to taste
1 1/4 tsp roasted and crushed cumin seeds (jeera)
1 1/4 tsp chilli powder
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
ghee for brushing and cooking

Method

Combine the whole wheat flour and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water.
Divide the dough into 5 equal portions.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 125 mm. (5”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Brush it with a little ghee, sprinkle ¼ tsp of crushed cumin seeds and ¼ tsp of chilli powder evenly over it.
Roll it up tightly and make a small round like a coil and press it lightly by hand.
Roll out again into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the tikadia, using a little ghee, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Repeat steps 3 to 7 to make 4 more tikadias.
Serve immediately.
