Prepare the spiced butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Add minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and a pinch of black pepper. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Strain through fine mesh to remove solids and set aside the clarified spiced butter.

Make the flatbread: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and bread is cooked through. Stack cooked breads and cover with cloth to keep warm.

Tear the warm flatbreads by hand into irregular 2-inch pieces directly into a large serving bowl.

Drizzle the spiced butter generously over the torn bread pieces. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper or chili powder to taste.

Using your hands or two large spoons, toss the bread pieces thoroughly to ensure even coating with the spiced butter.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Drizzle with honey for a sweet-savory variation.

Serve immediately while warm, traditionally eaten with hands, perfect for sharing family-style.
