Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (optional)
- 0.75 cups Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and carom seeds (if using).
Drizzle in the olive oil and mix it into the flour using your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and start kneading the dough. Aim for a firm yet pliable consistency.
Continue kneading for 8-10 minutes until you achieve a smooth dough that is firm but not sticky.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Once rested, the dough is ready to be rolled out and shaped for samosas.
