Use whole wheat flour (atta) instead of all-purpose flour and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden, flipping halfway. The texture will be denser but healthier.
Replace all-purpose flour and semolina with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and add 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to help bind the dough.
Use 3 tablespoons of hot vegetable oil instead of ghee for the 'mohan' to make this recipe completely vegan.
Reduce the red chili powder to 1/2 tsp for a much milder, less spicy version that's suitable for children.
