Notes
I have made it as small puris but you can make it as usual puri size but should be rolled out thick.
Little ghee can be added to the dough while kneading itself and its very flavorful.
Adding cumin and pepper powder are optional but it will taste nice when added.
You can mix half and half of maida with wheat flour or all wheat flour alone.
Sweetness can be more or less depending upon your need.
I made it little sweeter and served it as a snack.
If you are making for breakfast add less sugar as it will be served with some side dish.
