• In the meantime, mix all the ingredients with the help of a spoon. And add desi ghee to the mixing bowl.
• On the other hand, start preparing a hard dough. Knead it for 3-4 minutes and keep it aside for a few minutes.
• Then, divide the dough into equal portions to make large chapati balls.  And with the help of a cookie cutter cut it into round shapes.
• In addition, preheat the oven to 180°C for 10 minutes.
• After that, line the baking tray with butter paper and place the small discs on it.
• Furthermore, prick mathris with the help of a fork and let them bake. Also, flip the mathri halfway.
