Recipe
1
Knead the whole wheat flour with a little ghee and water into a smooth, firm dough and let it rest for twenty minutes.
2
Divide the dough into small portions and roll them out into thick flatbreads or traditional shaped pieces.
3
Prepare a thick sweet and sour syrup by melting the jaggery and tamarind pulp with a splash of water, adding fennel seeds, dry ginger powder, and a pinch of salt.
4
Cook the rolled pieces on a heated griddle with generous amounts of pahadi ghee until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
5
Simmer the cooked pieces briefly in the warm sweet and sour syrup until they absorb the rich flavors.

Serve hot, drizzled with a little extra ghee for an authentic Himachali culinary experience.
