Aarthi

Hi arthi, my dough was little rubbery as I found difficult to roll it thin..also sticky when cutting, I didn't get proper diamond shapes.. I used knife for cutting.. And so now I am afraid to make dough or roll using maida(never used maida) .. Where I went wrong..
Aarthi
@Ambika Rathnamadd more flour and knead it well.

Can we replace maida with wheat flour to make it more healthy..
Aarthi
