Balep Korkun is a type of bread that is consumed by in Central Tibet. Tibetian makes so many kinds of unique style of bread. Balep korkun is a round and quite thin, it is very easy to make. You just need wheat flour, baking powder and water. I take this recipe from chef Vikas Khanna's "My Great India Cookbook".

Baking Powder - 1 tbsp
Water - 1 cup



Method :

Take a bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Keep adding water until you can make a smooth ball dough. Then knead the dough very well until the dough well flexible. When you finished kneading the dough, separate it into four pieces and roll them into a ball shape.

Heat up a non-stick pan on high until it gets hot. Turn down the heat of medium, put the bread in the pan and cover it with a lid for 5 mins on medium heat. You should turn over the bread every 5 mins, so both sides of bread get cooked well.
