Do you know that if we mix wheat flour with salt, carom seeds, white sesame seeds, chili flakes, and ghee, and then add a little water to make a dough, we can fry it in hot oil? People flip it on both sides in the pan until it becomes golden brown and crispy. This way, you can make very tasty flour kachoris at home.
