Instructions

1
Knead a stiff, spiced dough and rest it 15 minutes under a damp cloth.
2
Roll or pinch into the classic shape — thin where it should be thin, even everywhere.
3
Fry on medium heat until deeply golden and crisp; drain on a rack, never on paper that traps steam.
4
Salt while hot and store airtight — these keep their snap for days.

Chef's tip

Sugar in the tempering is not optional; it is the Gujarat in the dish.
