- Firstly, in a mixing bowl take 1 cup Maida and ½ tsp salt. Mix well.
- Prepare smooth and soft dough adding water as required.
- Now take a ball sized dough, and flatten it.
- Dust flour as required and roll thin. (I like crisp Diyas).
- Prick the flattened dough with a fork to avoid from puffing up while frying.
- Place a dough disc in the earthen Diya and wrap the Diya.
- Trim off excess making sure the dough has covered well.
- Deep fry in hot oil or bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Splash oil till the Diya separates from the dough.
- Now fry the dough Diya, till it turns golden and crisp.
- Drain and keep aside.
- Fry a little pasta too to make the wick of the lamp. Fry on low flame as it turns brown very easily.
- Method for Chat
- Boil pasta in enough water with little salt and oil.
- Strain it and remove water.
- Boil the sweet corn and green peas together.
- Strain and keep aside.
- Mix all above ingredients and squeeze the lemons.
- Adjust all ingredients according to your taste.
- Fill prepared mixture into the Diyas and garnish with
- Mint, coriander, spring onion greens and peppers.
