Making the Dough:
In a large bowl add 1 small-medium sized bowl of plain flour and knead it with water (as required) to create a soft dough. Once you've made the dough set it aside for a few minutes (about 10-15min), and then make palm sized balls out of the dough.

Once rolled out, place it on a hot tava/griddle and both sides of the pronto cook. Once you flip one side over spread a tsp of ghee onto each side and allow each side to cook evenly until they turn golden brown and crsipy.
