Gather @all-purpose flour{400%g} and @red lentil{200%g}.

Knead flour, @condensed milk{1%tbsp}, salt and water into a very soft dough; coat balls in @ghee{80%g} and rest 4 hours minimum. ~{4%hours}

Simmer lentils with @curry powder{1%tbsp}, @onion{1}, @garlic{3%clove} and @tomato{1} into a loose dhal. ~{25%minutes}

Stretch each ball on an oiled counter until see-through, then gather into a coil and flatten.

Griddle until gold, then clap the roti between your hands to shatter the layers.
