Preparing the dough
- Combine plain flour and semolina in a deep and wide vessel.1 Cup Plain Flour or All Purpose Flour (Maida), 2 Tablespoons Semolina (Sooji)
- Add some oil, carom seeds (ajwain) and salt to the flour.2 Teaspoons Oil, 1 Teaspoon Carom Seeds (Ajwain), 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- Add around 1/3 cup of water in small increments and knead a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Making the pinwheels
- Divide the dough into 3 equal balls. Brush a few drops of oil on the outside.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten out the the balls to make a large disc around 9-10 inches in diameter. You can brush the disc with some oil if it starts to stick to the rolling pin or board.
- Divide the potato mixture into 3 parts and spread it evenly over the disc, leaving around 1/2 inch space on the edges. You can use a rolling pin to flatten out the mixture.
- Gently start rolling the disc tightly from one end.
- Towards the end, brush a few drops of water onto the edges. This will help the dough stick together.
- Finish rolling up and press lightly to seal the ends.
- Cut the dough horizontally into 1 inch slices with a sharp knife.
- Take each slice between the palm of your hands and press gently to flatten it out.
- Deep fry on medium heat till they are crisp and golden brown. You can also bake the pinwheels at 180C or 350F for 30-35 mins. Serve with mint chutney, coriander chutney, or tamarind chutney. You can also serve them as a chaat along with curd, and chutneys.
