    Tried this today and was super yummy. Didn’t have jowar, so replaced it with what flour. I made them into very small circles, my kids loved it. First batch was over in minutes. Real keeper of a recipe. I also added some ajwain.

    Hello Smitha,

    I love all your recipes, especially the ones where there is a baked option instead of deep fried 🙂 I have a question regarding the use of flax seeds in this recipe. I currently don’t have any, but I have chia seeds since I use them a lot in baking vegan dishes. Can I substitute chia seeds instead of flax seeds in this recipe? If yes, how much would you recommend?

    Thank you!
