Garam Masala - 1 tspn(Store bought)
Oil - 1 tspn

In a wide bowl, put all the ingredients one by one and mix with warm water to form a soft dough. Once its done grease your hands with oil, coat the dough and mix it well to form a ball.
Leave the dough covered for half n hour or 1 hour if you have time.
Make small equal balls and spread to round shape with the help of rolling pin and board. If required spread little dry wheat flour on both sides.
Heat a Tawa/skillet. When its hot cook both sides till light brown with or without oil.

Serve hot with any fav. gravy or curry or Molagai Podi.
