Directions
- Mix the flour, salt, and oil, and gradually add the water while kneading to form a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

- Add the powdered spices and salt; when the mixture starts to smell fragrant, add the cooked chicken and mix well. ≈ 4 min
- Add the curry leaves and cook until the mixture is almost dry. Set aside.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out thinly, like tortillas. ≈ 10 min
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each pancake, then fold it in half, and then in half again, to create a quarter-circle shape. ≈ 3 min
- Cook the pancakes in a lightly oiled frying pan, on both sides, until they are golden brown, similar to how dosas are cooked.
