How to make it

  • METHOD:
  • Make a well in the center of the flour, place the salt in the well and add the water small amounts at a time. Knead well to form a very smooth dough. Using well oiled hands, make balls the size of a tangerine and place them on an oiled surface. (counter top, table, marble block etc.)
  • **Be careful NOT to overwork the dough by over-kneading it.
  • Also let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes after kneading, cover it with a damp cloth or towel.
  • Spread out the balls one by one with the palm of your oiled hand stretching the dough gently in all directions until it is very thin. Fold in the 4 sides to form a square approximately 3-4 inches in size.
  • Cook briefly in a well buttered skillet on both sides until lightly browned.
  • Served with honey or sugar, these are a wonderful breakfast or snack.
  • You can also stuff them lightly before folding with sweet mixtures such as ground almonds and sugar or with onions, parsley, and spices; meat can be added as well.

    Wow...this sounds almost like parauthas or roti which I ate in Pakistan and Bangladesh. I love the idea of stuffing them, especially with onions. Thanks so much!
