Method
Mix maida besan salt hing ajwain and kalonji. After mixing it evenly add 3 tablespoons of oil and rub it well, till it becomes granular. Squeeze it to see if it holds together. If it does not, add 1 more tablespoon of oil. Add water and knead to make a stiff dough. Roll it out the size of a puri (but not very thin). Make 2 or 3 slits in the central area and deep fry it, but regulate the heat so that each Besanauti comes out stiff.
