Notes
Note: You may also add 1 teaspoon ajwain or carom seeds.However,do not add this if eating during pregnancy.
You may just make them with plain flour/wholewheat flour with or without flax seeds, oats flour. Just add oil,salt and knead with water. Optional you may add a pinch of baking soda, but I did get good results when I added flax seeds without any baking soda.
