  11. Grease the rolling pin and the board with little ghee.
  12. Take a portion of the dough, roll into a circle. Cut into roundels. Make 24 such roundels.
  13. Take one roundel. Keep some stuffing in the centre. Close with another one. Press the edges well and close it well. Make a spiral pattern by pinching the dough and closing it ( as shown in the pic.)
  14. Similarly make with the rest.
