What each ingredient does

Wheaten black flour
Forms the dough structure that holds the makaruli shape during boiling.
Oil
Adds fat and a smooth, rich mouthfeel to the finished pasta.
Water
Hydrates the flour so gluten can form and the dough becomes elastic.

The step that matters

Kneading the dough. Kneading develops gluten, giving the dough elasticity so the shaped pasta holds its form and stays tender rather than falling apart or turning tough.
