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