Basket Chaat Recipe

 In a mixing bowl, add 4 cups (500 grams) maida, salt, and ¼ cup hot oil. Mix well into the flour.
 Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, stiff dough. Do not knead a soft dough.
 Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
 Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Take one part, grease the kitchen platform with oil, and roll the dough into a large, thin roti.
 Using a round bowl, cut the dough into medium-sized puris. I make about 10 puris at a time. Remove the excess dough and prick the puris with a fork. Repeat this process for all the dough.
 Place a rolled puri on a basket-shaped mould, then take a second mould and press the puri lightly between the two (refer to the video for clarity).
 Remove the excess dough. Repeat this process for all the puris.
 If you're not using a mould, place a small katori (bowl) in the center of the puri and wrap the puri around it. Remove the excess dough and continue making all the basket puris without a mould.
 Deep fry the basket puris on medium-low heat until they turn golden and crisp.
 Drain the fried puris and repeat the process until all the basket puris are done.
 Store the basket puris in an airtight container.

 In a bowl, add cumin powder, amchur powder, black salt, and red chilli powder. Mix well. Your special masala is ready.
