4Pour in a quarter of a cup of vegetable oil and mix it in.

6Knead the dough for about three or four minutes until it is soft and smooth.
7Tip the dough out on a floured surface and gently bring it together.
8Roll the dough into a sausage shape.
9Cut the dough into even chunks, approximately 50 grams each or golf ball size.
10Roll each dough ball out to about one or two millimeters thick.
11Heat a tava or non-stick skillet on the lowest heat.
12Place a rolled-out round on the tava/skillet until the color just starts to change, then flip it after a few seconds and cook for another few seconds on the other side.
13Remove the pastry from the heat; do not cook it completely, just set it.
14Mix plain flour and water to create a glue with the consistency of PVA glue.
15Cut your pastry round in half.
16Brush a bit of glue along half of the straight edge of the pastry half.
