Mix together by hand and kneed till a smooth dough is formed.

The finished dough must be smooth, after it is done, Add oil at this stage [it is optional].put a side for 10-15 mins to rest.

Now divide the dough into equal portions.

Take one ball in your hands and press the ball with your palms applying gentle pressure, till it forms a smooth without cracks.

Do this for all the portions.

Lightly coat one ball in dry flour -->doing this will prevent ball from sticking to the rolling surface.
