Note:
- If you are making it first time then you have to keep in mind that it is a sticky dough and you have to be gentle while rolling it. Because of millet flour (bajra flour) it will not be perfect round, you will get rough edges unlike roti or paratha. Practice is needed for rolling dhebra.
- Minimise dusting of the dough with whole wheat flour, since it tends to harden and dry it out while cooking.
