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.

  1. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes before shaping.

  2. Combine the flour and dry ingredients; gradually add the listed liquid until a dough forms.

  3. Knead until reasonably smooth and elastic.

  4. Divide and shape the dough to the traditional thickness and form.

  5. Bake in a hot tandoor or oven until cooked and lightly browned.

  6. Cool on a clean cloth or rack and serve fresh.

Cook's notes

Avoid adding unnecessary extra flour while shaping because a dry dough produces a tougher bread. Bake until the center is cooked without letting the crust become excessively dry.

Background
