Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar.
  2. Add 20 g of melted ghee, then gradually incorporate the lukewarm water to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each into a disc about 18 cm across and 3 mm thick.
  6. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook each bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until bubbles form.
  7. Brush them with the remaining ghee as soon as they come off the pan, then keep them covered so they stay soft.

Variations and tips

Buttered version. Replace the ghee with clarified butter, which tastes very similar.
