  4. Keep adding water little by little and knead it into a round soft ball. Dont add too much water, the dough will become sticky and soggy

  5. When fully kneaded into a ball, add a teaspoon of cooking oil on the side and mix it into the dough

  6. Now keep kneading the dough. The oil will give it a smooth texture. (Note: the more you knead it, the more smooth and soft itll become)

  7. You know your dough is perfect when you give it a light tap, and the print of your fingers is left on it.
