Divide the dough into 3-4 equal sized pieces. Roll each one out and apply oil on top and dust it with flour. Place the discs on top of each other and roll it flat. Heat a tawa, and cook the rolled out pile together on a low flame for 1 minute on each side. Take it off the pan, trim off the round parts to form a square. Cut it into long logs and peel off each sheet. Fold it like a cone and add the onion filling inside. Apply maida batter on the loose end and close the open end and seal it tightly.
