Method
In a large bowl, mix the 3 cups of flour with 1 tsp of yeast, 1 tsp of sugar and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Gradually add the 2 cups of lukewarm water and whisk into a soft, smooth batter slightly thicker than pancake batter.
Cover and leave in a warm place for 45 minutes until it puffs up and bubbles appear on the surface.
Heat a heavy pan over medium heat and grease it with a little ghee if you have it.
Pour the batter into the pan about a finger thick and spread it with the back of a spoon.
Cover the pan, lower the heat and cook for 8 minutes until the top sets with holes and the bottom is browned.
Flip it and cook for 4 minutes until the second side is browned and it feels light when pressed.
Serve hot brushed with ghee, or with honey or laban if you have them.
