When risen, divide into balls (the size depends on how many flat breads you are looking to make)
Preheat a non stick pan to high and start dry frying the breads
Get them carefully into the pan and sprinkle with a fennel and sesame seeds
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, check that they are cooked and serve

Pour half the oil in and start blending
Keep pouring the oil in until you reach the desired consistency (double cream)
Serve the flatbread topped with fresh paneer, the sauce and quick pickled pink onions (optional)
