Nimky Dough
In am empty cooking pot, add in some dough, kali Jira and water and start to mix the dough. If the dough feels too soft then you can add in some more water.
Start to roll the dough on a kitchen top surface, ensure to pour some flour on the kitchen top to stop the dough from sticking to it. Roll out your dough until it is a large think circle using a rolling pin.
Once done, start to cut out some strips from the dough using a small knife. Keep cutting until you have diamond cut out shapes in the dough.
