Step 5 : Gently start to fold in and knead the mixture so that puree blends in well with the flour. Add little water if required and knead to make a soft and smooth dough.

Step 6 : Divide the dough into 8 equal sized balls and brush them with a little flour. Roll the dough into a disc with a rolling pin. Brush a few drops of oil on top.

Step 7 : Fold it in semicircle (as shown below) and add another coat of oil on top of it. Fold it again halfway such that it looks like a triangle and gently press the corners and edges together.
