1/2 Teaspoon Salt 
1 Teaspoon Chaat masala
1 Teaspoon Red chilly powder 
Ghee as required  
Extra flour for dusting / rolling the rotis
Water as required for kneading

Method


Mix together wheat flour, salt and carom seeds and knead into a dough with sufficient water in to a soft dough. Cover and keep aside  to rest at least for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into balls. Dust with a little dry flour and roll into roti.




Apply little ghee on the roti, sprinkle red chilly powder, chaat masala and dry flour.




Make a cut in the roti from the centre outwards and roll it in the shape of a cone to make layers.



Then twist the cone and roll it into a ball see pic 



Press this cone and roll it back into a roti.



Heat a tawa. 




Place the roti on it and cook till the underside is done. Turn it over and cook on the other side too. Apply a little ghee on both sides and cook till golden.



Remove from tawa, sprinkle some chaat masala, hold the  roti in your hands and crush it lighlty so that the layers
