Indian Bread

This one is specially for my friend Patricia.

You Need
2 cups wheat flour.
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
3/4 cup water

Process
Mix flour, salt and 1/2 spoon ghee. Knead a soft dough with water of proper consistency.The dough shouldnt be too hard or too soft. Let soak for 15 mins.
Apply little ghee on your palms. Make ping pong balls of the dough.
Apply dry flour around the balls and roll on a flat surface with rollint pin just till it becomes flat.
Apply little ghee on the surface.
Fold it into a semicircle and refold it to make a triangle shape so that there are four layers now.
Apply dry flour on both the sides and spread it to make a thin bread.Keep applying flour in between so that it is not sticky and you can spread it smoothly and evenly in all directions.
Heat a flat surface pan with low edges.Maintain medium heat.
Place the bread on the pan.When slightly cooked,flip and apply ghee on both the sides.
Serve with Indian curries.
