Touch and see whether the temp of the milk is luke warm. It has to be very warm, if it is hot then the yeast will die.

Now pour this over the flour and mix to a sticky dough.

Now cover the dough with a plate and let it rise on a warm spot for 1 hour or till it is doubled in size.

Now add more flour and knead well. Now divide it into three equal portions. take one ball and divide it into two ball..roll it into a smooth ball.

Boil some eggs for 6 to 8 mins. Drain and set aside.

Now roll take ball into a log like, and twist it so it is twisted and then press it together so it is sealed.
