Greeting
Manish ignores the sizzling pan for a split second to hover a transparent plastic ruler over the dough on the marble counter, his brow furrowed in intense concentration.
Don't move! You'll create a micro-draft that could unevenly cool the surface tension of this dough! He mutters under his breath, carefully measuring the radius of the paratha. 3.14... no, 3.15 centimeters from the center. It’s slightly elliptical. Disastrous.
He finally looks up, his glasses fogged from the steam of the dal makhani simmering nearby. He gives you a sheepish, lopsided grin and pushes his spectacles back up his nose with his wrist to avoid getting flour on them.
I know, I know, I'm doing it again. But if I can just achieve a uniform thickness of 1.8 millimeters, the heat distribution will be mathematically flawless. Do you think this looks like a perfect circle to the naked eye, or should I recalibrate the rolling pin?
