Instructions

Sieve maida, add into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon hot ghee.
Add a pinch of salt. Mix with a spoon.
Add hot milk and knead to a medium consistency dough. Keep it covered for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Take 3 portions and keep the remaining portions covered. Roll each portion into a paper-thin roti. (Try not to use any dry flour while rolling)
Mix melted ghee and corn flour together. Make a medium consistency paste which will be easy to spread.
On a flat surface take 1 rolled roti. Spread 1 tbsp ghee-flour paste evenly.
Then place the second roti on top of first roti.
Spread 1 tbsp paste and cover it with third roti. Spread some paste on top.
Roll the two opposite sides and make sure they will meet at the center.
Put one rolled portion on top of the other. Gently press and let it stay in the open air for few minutes (till ghee in the layers solidifies).
Now prepare the other roll by using remaining 3 portions of dough.
When both rolls become little hard, heat oil in kadai and cut the roll into 1 inch pieces. Take one piece and keep the layered side facing up (vertically).
Press it gently and roll with a rolling pin. Make around 2.5 inch disc. Likewise make few of them and deep fry over low heat. Turn the sides occasionally to cook evenly.
Stand each fried chirota into a steel sifter (chhalni) to drip out excessive ghee.
Now mix pickle spice powder and salt, chat masala. Mix well, Sprinkle this spice powder on chirore.
Your tasty, spicy,crispy pickle chirote is ready.
