1
Mix whole wheat flour, ghee, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then gradually add water to knead into a firm, smooth dough.

Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, add mustard and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.
4
Add boiled potato cubes, turmeric, and red chili powder, tossing well to coat the potatoes evenly.
5
Pour in the tamarind pulp and jaggery powder along with a splash of water, simmering until the potatoes absorb the sweet and sour flavors.

Divide the rested dough into small equal portions and roll them out into small circles.
7
Heat oil in a deep kadhai and fry the rolled dough until they puff up golden brown on both sides.
