How this kind of dish is made
The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.
Combine the flour and dry ingredients; gradually add the listed liquid until a dough forms.
Knead until reasonably smooth and elastic.
Divide and shape the dough to the traditional thickness and form.
Bake in a hot tandoor or oven until cooked and lightly browned.
Cool on a clean cloth or rack and serve fresh.
Cook's notes
Add water gradually because different flours absorb differently; keep the dough appropriately soft or moist for the bread style. The baking surface or oven should be fully preheated.
