  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (321 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten, honey

Ingredients

  • 70 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 220 g Water
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 20 g Honey
  • 10 g Ghee

Method

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a pot with the pinch of salt.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and sift in the flour gradually, beating constantly with a wooden spoon to stop lumps forming.
  3. Keep beating and folding the mixture hard for 8-10 minutes, pressing it against the side of the pot, until it turns into one smooth, stretchy, dough-like mass that pulls cleanly away from the sides.
  4. Wet a spoon and shape the dough into a smooth mound in a serving bowl, making a small well in the center.
  5. Pour the melted ghee and the honey into the well and serve warm, tearing off small pieces to dip.
