Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and Italian seasoning. Add some cookeen in small chunks. Crumble while mixing to get even spread. Add enough water to get soft dough and knead plentiful. Add small amounts of water until you get the right feel. I formed 6 small balls. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. That was enough time for me to put the laundry on the line to dry. If you want and what I might try in the future is adding milk and yeast. Heat pot on high but you will need to lower the heat as time goes by. Roll out dough. The size I went for was the size of pita pockets. Use dry flour to avoid sticking. Cook on each side for about 1 minute. Cut each roti in half and create a pocket in each half. Store wrapped in foil to remain moist and serve with your favorite talkari. My mom made chorai bhaji or local spinach.
