Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a deep bowl, combine the finely chopped fenugreek leaves, black millet flour, white millet flour, Bengal gram flour, chili powder, asafoetida, curd, ginger-green chili paste, garlic paste, sugar, and salt. Add about 3 teaspoons of oil and enough water to make a soft dough.
    1 cup finely chopped, 1 cup black millet flour, 1/4 cup white millet flour, 1 tbsp bengal gram flour, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1/4 tsp asafoetida, 2 tbsp curd, 1 tbsp ginger green chilli paste, 1 1/2 tsp garlic paste, 1 tsp sugar, salt, 3 tsp oil
  • Shape the Dhebras: Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Take one portion and pat it between your palms to form a 2-inch diameter circle, about 1 cm thick.
  • Cook the Dhebras: Heat a tava (griddle) on medium flame. Place the Dhebra on the hot tava and cook, using 1/2 teaspoon of oil, until it turns golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
