Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup water (for dough)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt (for dusting)
Method:
Mix ours, salt, oil and water and make a dough. Knead the dough for about 8 - 10 minutes to make it soft. Cover it with a damp cloth and leave it aside for about 1 to 3 hours. After 3 hours knead the dough again and divide it into 8 small balls. Roll the balls into a thin round pastry, of about 5 inches in diameter. If it sticks to the surface when you atten the ball, you may dip the pastry in the extra all purpose our and keep the surface dusted with our.
