Kobij na Thepla - Cabbage Flatbread

This is a simple cabbage flatbread. One important thing while making this thepla is to use grater (large holes ok) to grate the cabbage and not to chop it with a knife. My food processor doesn't produce same shreds that the grater does. Very fine cabbage shreds are needed to knead and roll the dough.
