First of all take yeast in a large mixing bowl add 2 tbsp of warm water with a tsp of sugar and leave it in a warm place for few minutes it starts to frothing up that means your yeast has started to work and it is live, Mean while when the yeast is in the process take a medium sized onion, green chillies and herbs chopped finely and kept ready.Sift All purpose flour, the spices powders and salt and mix them well with the help of a sieve, then mix the chopped ingredients well together in a large bowl.
