Prepare the Onion Mixture
Finely chop the onion, ginger, garlic, and green chilies, then grind them together in a mini grinder until smooth. Finely chop the spinach and set it aside. This mixture will add moisture and strong flavor to the dough without needing much extra water.

Rest and Shape
Cover the dough and allow it to rest for about thirty minutes so it becomes smooth and pliable. Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll each one gently using dry flour to prevent sticking. Fill with extra cheese if desired and flatten carefully.

Cook the Flatbreads
Heat a flat pan on medium heat and melt a little butter. Cook each flatbread, turning regularly, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Press gently while cooking to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese inside before serving hot.
