Making Manda

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of flour
• 4 tablespoons of oil
  
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2-3 cups of water

Procedure:

• Add the dry ingredients together in a bowl. (i.e flour and salt)
  
• Make a well in the middle and add the oil.
  
• Slowly incorporate the water while kneading the dough to achieve a consistency of "rolling off your fingers."

Note: Do not feel you have to use all 2-3 cups of water. Exercise judgement!

• Section the dough into balls.
  
• Take each ball and roll it like a "chapati/sabayad"
• Lubricating the top of the rolled out dough with oil (1-2 tablespoons) and a pinch of flour, stack another rolled out dough on top of it.
  
• Keep stacking till you have five stacks of dough.
  
• Roll out the stacked dough in a circular shape to fit the pan.
  
• Heat up pan till its hot to the touch.
  
• Lay the stacked dough on pan and watch for the dough to dry out. Careful not to let the dough brown.
  
• Dry out the other side of the stacked dough and remove from heat.
  
• Lay dough on counter top and cut dough into four quadrants of a circle.
  
• Carefully separate each dough from stack and lay separate to air out.
• Leave in bowl with towelette (to avoid drying) till ready to fold samosas.
