keep close.

Written recipe adapted from the Koki chapter of the shared cookbook manuscript.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 2 to 3 green chillies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, optional
  • Coriander leaves, salt and 4 tbsp oil for the dough
  • Ghee or oil for cooking
