How to Cook

Put round on pre-heated tava. Cook 1 minute. (Top should begin
to look dry and darken. There should be a few light brown specks on
the underside. If you can adjust the heat so that a few brown specks
appear on the underside in 1 minute, you will be cooking at the ideal
temperature. This guideline applies to the second and subsequent
rounds cooked; the first round cooked after pre-heating tava takes
about 3 minutes – keep cooking till a few light brown specks appear on
underside.) Turn over round with a broad spatula.
