Making Dough

 

Take  1 cup  Bajra flour in the mixing bowl or in a rimmed plate/ Thali

• Now add the spices - 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 3 tsp white sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp sugar, and salt as per taste.
• Then add 2 tbsp curd. With a spoon mix everything very well.
• Now add 1 tbsp oil. Again mix.
• Then add 2 tbsp water and mix again.
• Add 1 to 2 tbsp more of the water and knead the dough. Do add more water if required. I added 4.5 tbsp water.
• Knead to a smooth dough. Make a dough that is not very soft nor too tight. If the dough becomes soft, then add 1 or 2 tbsp or more of the Bajra flour. If the dough becomes hard or looks dry, then add 1 to 2 tbsp water or as required.
• Cover and keep aside the Bajra dough for 30 minutes or for a couple of hours.
