Tips for perfect dough
1. Add warm water little by little while kneading.
2. Since veggies already contain water, use less water at first.
3. Knead for 3–4 minutes until smooth. Knead semi soft dough, not too soft .
4. Rest dough 10–15 minutes (very important).
5. If dough becomes sticky after resting, dust a little wheat flour.
