Ingredients
- Roasted rice flour (chawal ka atta) (4 cups)
- Roasted black gram powder (urad) (1 cup)

- Oil (for deep frying)
Method
- Dissolve salt and hing in 1/4 cup water and set aside.
- Mix rice flour, black gram powder, cumin seeds and butter.
- Blend well until the flour resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the salt and hing water and slowly add more water until it forms a soft pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
- Heat oil in a kadhai to medium heat.
