FLAVORS :
* Salt and peanut oil are added to make a dough, which can be flavored with seasonings such as chili, cumin, garlic, or black pepper. Sometimes, baking soda or slaked lime is also added. The dough is shaped into a thin, round flatbread and then dried, and can be cooked by deep frying, roasting over an open flame, toasting, or microwaving, depending on the desired texture.
