• Take sooji in a bowl and pour some water over it. Mix it well and allow it to soak for 10 mins.
• Now take wheat flour, salt, oil and the soaked sooji in a bowl and mix with your hands so that everything is evenly mixed.
• Slowly add in water and mix well and make into a dough. Knead the dough for 5 mins so that it gets smooth and even.
• Apply some drops of oil on the top and cover it with a bowl. Let it rest for 30 mins.
• Now take a portion out of the dough and spread it in to a large thin sheet.
• Take a sharp edge cutting tool( I used a lid of a steel container) and cut small circles out of it. Do all the dough like this.
