Method:

1. Place 200g/7 oz of flour in a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes until springy and satiny. Cover and leave for 30minutes.

2. Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll them into balls, flatten them then roll them into circles on an oiled board. Smear the top with oil, sprinkle with flour and fold in half.

3. Smear the top again with oil and sprinkle with flour and fold again. Then roll out thinly to a triangle shape of about 5mm/1/4 in thick.

4. Heat the oil and fry a few papri at a time until golden brown and crispy, turning frequently while cooking. Spoon over the yoghurt and chutney, sprinkle with garam masala, chili and cumin and serve hot.
