• Cover the dough ball with plastic wrap and set aside for 2-4 hours.
• Knead the dough again. If it has gotten too wet, add a little flour. If too dry, add a few drops of water.
• Set a cast-iron griddle, cast-iron frying pan, or Indian tava over medium-high heat.
• Divide the dough into 4 parts. Oil your hands lightly and make 4 balls. Flatten the balls to make 4 patties. Keep 3 balls covered while you work with the fourth.

• Turn the bread again, dribbling another 1/2 teaspoon of oil near its circumference. Cook 30 seconds, pressing down on the bread again.
