The Folded Layers
A skilled prata man stretches the dough until it is paper thin before folding it over the filling. The outside should be crispy and golden brown, while the inside remains moist and packed with flavour.
The Onion Crunch
The filling usually involves minced mutton, chicken, or beef mixed with a generous amount of onions. The onions shouldn't be mushy. They should provide a slight crunch and sweetness to balance the heavy spices.
