Dissolve

beaten eggs and the yeast mixture into the well in center of the flour
mixture.
Stir
to blend and then knead well.
Slowly
mix in the 1/4 cup warm melted ghee, continuously knead dough throughout
this process.
Continue
kneading until dough is smooth and elastic; if dough seems too dry add
a small amount of water at a time.
Flour
your hands and divide the dough into 16 balls about the size of a large
egg.
On
a lightly floured board place a dough ball and form into a very thin round
shape, using the heel of your hand.
A
rolling pin may be used. Brush a baking sheet with ghee.
Place
the completed round on the baking tray and brush well with melted ghee.
Shape
7 more rounds.
After
completing each round place on top of the previous round, press the edges
with fingertips and brush well with ghee.
Repeat
this process with the other 8 rounds .
You
will have 2 stacks on the baking sheet, be sure to brush the last round
with the ghee.
Let
rest in a warm place for 45 minutes.

in a 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes until light golden brown.
If

the cakes are done.
