Rub the ghee into the flour. Stir in salt & baking powder & continue to rub until you have a crumbly texture. Gradually add water as necessary & knead into a stiff but pliable dough.

Divide dough into four equal portions & shape into a ball. Flatten each portion & then roll out into a thin, round disk. Cut each disk in half & set aside, covered with a damp towel until until the filling is ready.
