**👩🍳 Simple Steps to Flaky Perfection:**
1️⃣ **Knead the Dough**: Mix flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add warm water to form a soft dough. Rest for 20 mins (hello, gluten relaxation!).
2️⃣ **Sizzle the Filling**: Sauté onions, ginger-garlic, and chilies in a drizzle of oil. Stir in spices, then mashed potatoes and herbs. Mix well!
3️⃣ **Roll & Stuff**: Divide dough into balls. Roll each into a circle, add filling, seal, and gently roll again.
4️⃣ **Cook to Golden Bliss**: Heat a skillet, brush with minimal ghee, and cook until crispy speckles appear.
