In the state of gujarat, we call them puris or mathris. <BR/><BR/>Now, to make it more confusing, there are many types of these and they come soft to eat like naan with curries or hard like crackers to have as a snack or breakfast. <BR/><BR/>But you can actually use the dough i mentioned and make them into small rounds and deep fry them until they're crispy or bake them (brush w/oil first). I will post a recipe for cilantro chutney for you. Mine doesn't include water or oil and can only be stored for a couple days in the fridge. If this isn't what you're looking for, you'll find some great indian bloggers at www.connect.sailusfood.com, i'm sure someone will have the recipe you're looking for!Alpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889288288469735138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610783251695275311.post-54999430530486670842008-04-13T19:55:00.000-05:002008-04-13T19:55:00.000-05:00Hi Alpa,You are a girl after my own heart!! Spicy ...Hi Alpa,<BR/>You are a girl after my own heart!! Spicy Indian or Mexican food for breakfast is my fav!!! I have a ? for you. When I was in college one of my best friends happened to be from India and she would make these flat spicy crispy crackery things on the gas stove that just rocked. We put some spicy cilantro chutney on the top and that was often my breakfast. Any ideas what these might be called? And do you have a good recipe for cilantro chutney? A lot of the chutney's I have tried are water based, but this was oil based and oh so good!!!sewtakeahikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787842449238535140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610783251695275311.post-27435059947931341852008-04-13T19:23:00.000-05:002008-04-13T19:23:00.000-05:00methi theplas look deleciousssmethi theplas look deleciousssSagarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511533910904602762noreply@blogger.com
