Critical Success Points

  • Windowpane test to confirm gluten development
  • Generous application of ghee‑oil during rolling and cooking
  • Avoiding overly thin rolling to keep layers intact

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil and skillet can cause burns – use mitts.
  • Do not leave the pan unattended on medium heat.
