Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and oil or ghee.

Rub the oil into the flour using your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly, resembling coarse breadcrumbs.

Add lemon juice, then slowly incorporate water as you knead. Stop when a firm, slightly stiff dough forms.

Cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes.

This step is essential. A stiff dough results in a crust that stays crisp for hours after frying, even when cooled.
