The Art of making dhalpuri roti?

According to the traditional folks the best and most softest and tastiest dhalpuri roti can be made as follows:

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb split peas
 1/2 tsp saffron
2 tsp salt
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp ground cumin (geera)
4 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups of water

 Method:
1. Boil split peas with saffron, salt and garlic until firm and drain,
2. Using a mill or food processor grind with pepper and geera to taste.
3. Mix together flour, baking powder salt and water to form a soft dough.

                                                                             
4. Cut into 8 pieces and shape into a round ball.
5. Flatten each ball and fill with split peas mix and dredge with flour to prevent sticking.
6. Carefully roll out the ball  very thinly using enough flour.
7. Heat and grease the hot tawa/ baking stone, add oil and place the roti.
