Sprinkle the plain flour and cook again on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes dry. Keep aside.

Roll a portion of the dough into 75 mm. (3”) diameter circle with the help of a little plain flour for rolling.
Place 1 tsp of the prepared stuffing in the centre of the circle.
Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
