Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.
- 2
Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.

Shape each ball, flatten, and either roll plain or enclose a spoonful of filling and roll with the seam down.

Cook on a hot tawa till brown blisters form, flip, then finish over an open flame (or in the pan with ghee) till it puffs.

Chef's tip
Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
