Foodnote: I found this recipe and decided to try it to eat it with tetel beef soup! The recipe is quite straight forward and the dough is very very easy to manage. I can see myself doing a variation to this dough next time... like replacing the ghee with butter. Brushing the flat dough with butter+spring onion or garlic. Even make it into cinnamon rolls. The bread is soft and really yummy. Will definitely make it again!
