- 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
- Bring the water to a boil in a pot with the pinch of salt.
- Reduce the heat to low and sift in the flour gradually, beating constantly with a wooden spoon to stop lumps forming.
- 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.
- Wet a spoon and shape the dough into a smooth mound in a serving bowl, making a small well in the center.
- Pour the melted ghee and the honey into the well and serve warm, tearing off small pieces to dip.
