  • Use a rolling pin to flatter the dough and make a circle  evenly
  • Sprinkle a bit of Nigella seeds on it and gently press it with the help of a rolling pin
  • Use a iron skillet or a heavy based pan as this will require a lot of heat
  • Gently place it on the skillet when it is hot enough and  turn it over halfway and cook the other side.
