Method

Paapri

1. Add the flour to a bowl and mix in the salt and carom seeds.
2. Add the oil and start to knead to form a dough pour in the water a little at a time until you have a soft dough. If it's sticky add a little more flour. Let it rest for 15 mins. Knead a little more to soften.
3. Heat oven 200°c
4. Take a ball and roll out to make a roti about 2-3mm thickness.
5. With a fork make holes all over the surface of the rolled out roti.
6. Using a cookie cutter cut out round discs and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning half way just until they turn golden (keep an eye on them).
8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool until crisp. 

Green Chutney

1. Place all the ingredients into a blender and blitz to make a chutney. Add a little water if required.

Sweet Date and Tamarind Chutney

1. Put the tamarind, dates and water into a pan and cook for about 10 mins on a gentle heat.
2. Add the jaggery and stir, and let it come to a boil. Once the jaggery has dissolved, the mixture will start to thicken. 
3. Stir in all the spices and salt, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
