Now add Whole wheat flour, Sesame seeds, Kasuri methi, Kashmiri chili powder, Turmeric, Coriander Powder, Oil and Salt.
Mix everything together.
Gradually add water only as needed and knead into a soft, smooth dough.

Add a teaspoon of oil and knead for another minute until smooth.
Cover and let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes.
