Ingredients
| 2 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1 cup | whole wheat flour |
| 1 cup | plain yogurt |
| 1 teaspoon | baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon | sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |

Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- 2 Add yogurt and oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- 3 Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading until you form a soft and pliable dough.
- 4 Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 4-6 hours to allow fermentation.
- 5 After resting, divide the dough into small balls.
- 6 Roll each ball into a thick, round disc using a rolling pin.
- 7 Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- 8 Fry each rolled disc until it puffs up and turns golden brown on both sides.
- 9 Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- 10 Serve hot with Himachali Chana or any curry of your choice.
Tips
Ensure the dough is well-fermented for a fluffy texture. Adjust water quantity based on the flour's absorption capacity.
