Notes
Can add cumin/ ajwain to the dough.
You can skip fried gram flour but it will reduce the crunchiness.
Since kids will eat I added less red chilli powder. You can add up to 2 tsp too for more spiciness.
Dough should be neither too firm nor too sticky
To make fried gram flour, just powder it in mixer and sieve them and use it.
