Mix all-purpose flour, salt, and water in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal balls and coat with ghee.

Let the dough balls rest for at least 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

Flatten each dough ball with your hands, then stretch it into a thin layer.

Fold the stretched dough into a square and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook each folded dough piece for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

For the curry dip, rinse red lentils and boil in water until soft, about 15 minutes.

In a separate pan, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

Add curry powder and cook for 1 minute, then stir in coconut milk and cooked lentils.

Simmer for 5 minutes, then blend until smooth and season with lime juice, salt, and cilantro.
