Combine 3 cups of maida flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder in a bowl.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil lightly.

Pour in 1 1/4 cups of lukewarm water and mix until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough until smooth, adding a bit of flour and oil as needed.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Take the rested dough out and knead it one more time.

Roll out the dough as thinly as possible, dusting with flour to help with rolling.

Drizzle oil over the rolled dough and smear it all over.

Fold the dough in half, cut it in two, and gather it towards the center.

Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Roll out each ball with a light dusting of flour.

Cook on a hot tawa, flipping until it puffs up and gets a light color.
