Mix 550 g of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl.

Add 40 g of melted ghee and mix using fingertips until the mixture resembles sand.

Make a hollow in the center and gradually add 300 ml of tempered water, kneading until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.

Coat the dough with a little ghee and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare 1 kg of chicken breast cut into small pieces and wash them well.

Sauté the chicken in hot oil, mixing well.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of curry spices and salt to taste, then add 1 tablespoon of garlic and 1 tablespoon of ginger, mixing well.

Let the chicken simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, then add 2 large chopped onions and mix until softened.

Check if the chicken is cooked, ensuring it does not dry out, then turn off the heat.

Prepare the sauce by mixing 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, and 1 teaspoon of herbs de provence, then add this to the chicken and mix well.

Roll out the rested dough into a wide circle and brush with 1.5 tablespoons of melted ghee.

Sprinkle a little flour over the surface of the dough, then roll it into a cylinder.

Cut the cylinder into 10 small rolls and spread each roll into a small circle.

Cook each small circle on a frying pan over medium heat, brushing with a little oil or ghee, then turn and repeat until all are cooked.
