• Apply a little oil and keep it under wet cloth for 2 hours. After 2 hours take the dough and again knead for three to four minutes.
• Make equal sized balls. Apply a little oil. Make a round flat shape. Pick in hand and pat to give it a round shape four inches diameter.  Stretch it from one side to give a triangular shape (tear shape)
• Place it on the hot cast iron plate or tawa and cook on one side for a minute.  Flip it over and cook the other side. Reduce heat and cook on both sides on low heat till brown.
