Notes
- Add extra ingredients like black pepper powder and fenugreek seeds powder to make it more delicious.
- I don't use any chili powder here. But if you like to eat spicy food, then you can add it easily.
- When mixing the dough, you can add ghee instead of oil, which also gives a good taste.
- Making a tight and smooth dough helps the pare to come out more crispy.
