Características

La masa inicial del pan se elabora con sal y aceite de cacahuete, para proporcionar sabor se suele añadir unos chiles, comino, ajo o pimienta negra. A la masa se le proporciona una forma similar a la de una tortilla y se cocina de diversas formas: frito, asado sobre una llama, tostado (gratinar), o incluso en el microondas, todo ello depende de la textura final que se desee dar al pan.

Se suelen servir como acompañamiento a las comidas, e incluso como aperitivo inicial y se cubren con chatni u otras salsas para hacer dips.
