1

Start by mixing flour with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.

2

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, and salt to create a liquid mixture.

3

Prepare the dough by mixing the liquid mixture with the flour until soft, ensuring it is not hard.

4

Cover the dough with a little cooking oil or ghee and let it rest for about 20 minutes.

5

After 20 minutes, take the dough out and set it again to make it soft.

6

Divide the dough into four equal pieces and shape them into balls.

7

Prepare the filling by finely chopping onions and green chili, and mix them in a bowl without adding any other spices.

8

Roll out one piece of dough into a flat circle and brush it with ghee.

9

Spread the onion and green chili mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

10

Roll the dough tightly into a cylinder, ensuring the filling stays inside.

11

Repeat the rolling process for the remaining pieces of dough.

12

Once all pieces are rolled, cover them with oil or ghee to prevent sticking and let them rest for a few minutes.

13

Roll out each cylinder again into a flat circle, brushing with ghee between layers.

14

Cook the rolled-out dough in a hot skillet until golden brown on both sides.
