Then, use a rolling pin and your hands to stretch the dough as thinly as possible into a rectangle without tearing it. Ideally, it should only be 1–3 mm thick for greater flakiness later. If necessary, let the dough rest to help it relax.","Brush the surface of the dough sheet with some ghee or oil.","Fold one side of the dough to the center, then fold the opposite side over it. You should now have a long, thin strip of dough.","Take one end of the strip and start coiling it into a spiral, like a snail shell. Tuck the end under the coil to secure it. Press the coil down with your palm to flatten it into a round.","Heat a little ghee or oil in a skillet or other flat pan over medium heat.","Place a piece of the shaped dough on the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the heat.","Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough."],"categories":["Recipes for flatbread","Recipes using salt","Recipes using sugar","Breakfast recipes","Snack recipes","Recipes using all-purpose flour","Recipes using clarified butter","Recipes using vegetable oil","Southeast Asian recipes"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":"medium","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Prata","source_ref":"4505494","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Prata&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"01e61ff43bad03b1a583c2b66829eeccf8236f4aa8f70944fa18c73020401050","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:16Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T17:11:31Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/prata"}
