i see. starting with 500g flour is still too wet to comfortably knead by hand (sticky) so i knead with a wooden spoon inside a bowl, as a sort of human food processor. am i doing it wrong? the bread looks nice though. maybe a bit heavy/dense but good texture to pile on juicy foods.

i use a cast iron pan and the mixture was carbonized by the time i finished the first batch. so i had to clean it or it would have tasted like ashes. i gotta find a way to caramelize the thing without burning it. i'll try a bigger pan or something.

if you really wanna learn to cook, a nice alternative for you would be to learn to make chapatis. it's the dumbest of all flatbreads to make-- no yeast, no rising, nothing

you can use a different oil instead of olive (olives aren't indian)
see how that works out
