Default Cumin Puris

Found in one of my Rick Stein books along with oodles of fish pics to keep Miss E entertained and educated.

100g (4oz) wholemeal flour
100g (4oz) plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsps sunflower oil plus extra for brushing
1tsp cumin seeds
150ml (5floz) water

Sift the flours and salt into a large bowl, add the oil and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until well mixed in. Stir in the cumin seeds. Gradulally mix in the water to make a soft, slightly sticky dough, then turn out on to a well-floured work surface and knead for 5 mins. Rub the ball of dough with a little more oil, put in a clean bowl, cover and leave for 30 mins.

Pre-heat the grill to high. Knead the dough for another 3 mins until smooth. divide into 12 balls, dust each one heavily with flour and roll out into a 12.5cm (5") disc. Brush on both sides with oil and grill for 1 min on each side.

Serve as an accompaniment to the curry of your choice.
