Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onions, cook 5-6 minutes, stirring, until deeply golden and fragrant.
Step 2
Mix chickpea flour, turmeric, carom seeds, green chili, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add golden onions and stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour warm water slowly into the flour mixture, stirring until you have a thick, sticky dough that comes together.
Step 4
Heat remaining 1 tbsp chili oil in the skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Drop a large spoonful of dough onto the hot skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten into a rough 4-inch round, about 0.25-inch thick.
Step 6
Cook 2-3 minutes per side until edges curl, surface blisters, and color turns golden-brown. Flip once. Repeat with remaining dough.
