Topper Tips:

1. Make sure your pan is hot. You want to fry the ingredients quickly to vary the textures in the dish.

2. Cut your vegetables accordingly. The presentation of the dish or visual appeal is just as important as the taste.

3. The oil should be around 325 degrees when frying your chapatis.

4. Keep the dough balls covered so they don’t dry out.
