Pour flour into a large bowl.

Add salt and nigella seeds to the flour and mix well.

Add all the water into the mixture and start kneading the dough.

The dough does not contain any leavening agent like yeast or baking powder.

Knead the dough until cohesive, then cover it with a towel and set aside for 30-40 minutes.

Cut the dough into four pieces and cover them in the bowl.

Oil the surface and roll out each piece of dough as thin as possible with a rolling pin.

Brush the rolled dough with soft butter, folding it to create layers.

Roll the dough up and tuck the ends underneath.

Let the rolled dough rest for 10-20 minutes before cooking.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter.

Place the rolled dough into the skillet and cook, flipping occasionally.

Cover with a lid to help steam and make it fluffy.

Remove from the skillet when golden brown and serve.
