Method
For the dough

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a semi-stiff dough using enough water. Cover and keep aside.

For the stuffing

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the green chillies and ginger and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
Add the cabbage and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add all the remaining ingredients and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each portion into 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Put 2 tbsp of the stuffing in the centre of a round, gather the edges on the top and press well to close the round.
Repeat with the remaining rounds and stuffing to make 9 more ghughras.
Heat a deep kadhai and deep-fry the ghughras a few at a time, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.
Serve immediately with green chutney.
