For the dough
- Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Cover and keep aside for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
- Knead the dough again and divide it into 10 equal portions. Keep aside.
For the masala
- Dry roast all the ingredients on a hot tava (griddle) on a medium flame for 1 minute.
- Cool completely and blend in a mixer into a fine powder. Keep aside.
For the stuffing
- Blend the poppy seeds in a mixer into a fine powder.
- Then add water and again blend in the mixer to a smooth paste and keep aside.
- Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan, add the nigella seeds and ginger powder and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the poppy seed paste and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute.
- Add the prepared masala and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 more minute, while stirring continuously. Keep aside.
How to proceed
- Roll out a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3”) diameter circle with the help of a little whole wheat flour.
- Spread 1 tsp of the stuffing evenly over one half of the circle and fold into a semi-circle. Again spread 1 tsp of the stuffing evenly over one half of the semi-circle and once again fold to make a quarter. Press the edges lightly with your finger tips so that the stuffing doesn’t spill out.

In a bowl put 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour has a slightly nutty flavor that some people prefer compared to the more neutral taste of all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.

Living as an expat in the Middle East I encountered this item. It is actually very good. It can be microwaved for 10-15 secs and the chilies will puff up and have a crunchy feel to it. It can used to fire up achar (pickle vegetables) I even infuse vinegar, soy sauce with this very ingredients.
