Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups yellow maize flour (Makkai, available at any Indian grocery store. Maize is Spanish for 'Corn', so a regular corn flour )
salt

1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves, cleaned, washed and finely chopped (methi)
1 -2 green chili, washed, ends trimmed and finely chopped
hot water, to knead, as required
oil or ghee, to fry

Steps:

  • In a bowl, sift together the maize flour, salt, red chili and coriander powders together.
  • Add green chillies and fenugreek leaves to the bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Add hot water, as required, and knead the mixture well into a dough (similar to how you make puri dough).
  • Pinch off small rounds of the dough.
  • Use a rolling pin and make beris on a board dusted with flour (like you make rotis), about 4-6 inches in diameter.
  • Use ghee/oil and hot water to flatten them gently and carefully.

  • Serve hot with mango pickle and buttermilk on a cold winter night to enjoy it to the max!
