- Maida – 2 Cups
- Besan – 2 Cups
- Refined Oil-4 Tablespoons
- Hing -1 Teaspoon
- Ajwain- 1 ½ Teaspoons, level
- Kalonji– 1 ½ Teaspoons, level
- Salt-To Taste

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.
Serve with Aam Kuccha or Tomato Chutney
