How to make Elo Jhelo Nimki Recipe
We begin making Elo Jhelo Nimki Recipe with taking maida, oil, Kaala jeera, salt and sugar all together in a large mixing bowl and kneading with the help of water to make a smooth dough. Allow the dough to rest for half an hour. Remember that the dough should not be very soft or very tight.
