Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl add all purpose flour and add 1 tbsp clarified butter. Rub clarified butter and all purpose flour with your palms. This is the best way to mix properly. Add little water at a time and knead firm dough (do not add much water). Cover it with damp cloth or wet paper towel and keep it aside for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes knead dough for the final time. Dust working surface from all purpose flour. Give flat round shape (like peda) to entire dough and roll it. Roll slightly thicker than puri. Using a cookie cutter or round lid cut circles out of the rolled dough and keep them covered.

Step 6

Take out the cut circular dough and slightly roll it. Add stuffing in the centre and apply the paste from step 4 on the edges. Fold it from all the sides (please refer video for detailed folding technique). After folding, insert 2 cloves to seal. Prepare rest of the lavang latas in the same way and keep them covered while preparing.
