⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1/4 cup ghee or clarified butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. If using, add sugar and ground cardamom.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously, until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Cook the Ga'at

Heat ghee or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Take small portions of the dough and flatten them into thin, round discs. You can use your hands or a rolling pin.

Place the discs into the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve

Remove the cooked Ga'at from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Enjoy your meal!
