Yes it worked well. I added extra water by mistake but then got it equalised with an ample amount of flour and oil. A small suggestion to provide a little more clarity on mixing water step. And again Kudos to Cookd team.

The water was a bit extra. The dough was sticky even after leaving it alone for quite some time. Had to add more flour to bring it to the right consistency.
