Method

1. Combine maida, ghee, salt in a glass bowl and knead to a semi stiff dough using water.
2. Divide the dough into roundels. Shape each roundel into a chapati, using minimal flour for dusting.
3. Using a knife, cut into thin long strips.
4. Roll these strips around the cone mould like a coil, starting from the pointed end towards the broader end, till the entire cone is uniformly covered with the strips. Seal well to ensure that it doesn’t open.
Now I didn't have the mould, so i made shapes in the form of a boat, bag etc.
5. Follow the same procedure for the remaining dough.
6. Heat oil in a deep kadhai and deep fry the cones till they turn golden brown in colour. Drain on absorbent paper.
7. Once the cones have cooled a bit, shake them off the cone mould. Keep aside.
8. Combine all the ingredients for the filling.
9. For saunth chutney, in a frying pan, combine tamarind pulp with ¼ cup water and bring to a boil. Mix in jaggery, red chilli powder, dry ginger powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder and black salt. Mix well and cook till jaggery dissolves and chutney is thick.
10. Strain the mixture and mix in crushed roasted cumin. Keep aside.
11. For green chutney, combine the coriander, mint, green chillies, ginger and salt and grind to a smooth paste. Add a little water if required.
12. To serve, fill prepared filling into cones, top with saunth chutney and green chutney and serve.
