• Now, add warm water to the mixture and knead well to form a soft dough. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
• Grease your hands with ghee or oil and knead the dough again.
• Start greasing parchment sheets.
• Put a small portion of the rounded dough ball over a parchment sheet, put another sheet on top, press the dough ball to flatten it, and start rolling it with a rolling pin.
• Remove the parchment sheet on the top and take a small bowl to cut the flattened dough into a perfect round shape.
