• Then add cashew nuts, almonds, raisin.
• Now keep it aside to get cold.
• Meanwhile, take all purpose flour, salt and ghee and make the dough.

• Mix it well with hands.
• Now, divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll into a smooth ball and flatten it between your palms.
• Roll the balls into a 4 inch diameter circle using a rolling pin and rolling board.
• Fill about a tablespoon, stuff in central.
• Apply little water around the edges with your finger.
