Notes

After we knead the dough it should be kept covered for at least 15 minutes.
After we slice the dough we should allow the dough to dry for sometime to remove any moisture.
It can be rolled out in a rectangle to get perfect shape.
I have given my filling combo (chillies and amchur amount) you can moderate this filling according to your spice level.
It should be cooked in low flame so that it is cooked properly.
For each batch it takes a while to cook(min 5-6 minutes)of-course depends on the size.
