Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil for dough
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Water Water as needed, for dough
For Frying
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Make the Dough
- Combine all-purpose flour, vegetable oil (for dough), baking soda, lemon juice, carom seeds, and salt in a bowl.
- Mix well without adding water initially.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Knead for 2-3 minutes.
- Let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes.
Roll and Shape
- Roll out the dough thinly using a rolling pin.
- Lightly brush the rolled dough with oil.
- Fold the dough in half, then in half again to create layers.
Cut and Fry
- Cut the layered dough into small, desired shapes (approximately 2 inches).
- Heat vegetable oil (for frying) in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
- Carefully drop the sohal pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the sohal until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Finish and Serve
- Remove the fried sohal pieces from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the crispy mini sohal warm. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Mini Sohal
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red chili powder or other spices to the dough.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy sohal.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit more water.
- For a healthier option, you can shallow fry the sohal instead of deep frying.
