💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Always cook on low flame to avoid burning.

  • Use a thick-bottom pan for even cooking.

  • Don’t overstuff cheese; it may ooze out.

  • Covering the pan helps cook bread evenly, like an oven.

  • You can add garlic paste or chopped olives for extra flavor.

🔁 Variations
