- Knead it well. The dough is ready. Set a side for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal size portion and make a lemon size ball.
- Dust the rolling board with the flour and make a small round shape like puri. Apply some oil and fold it. Again dust the rolling board with flour and roll it evenly.
- It has to be thicker than roti. Heat the tava on a medium-low flame and place the paratha on hot tava.
- When one side is partly cooked then flip it. Spread some oil on the partly cooked side. Again flip the paratha and apply some oil over it. Cook well on both sides.
- Remove from the tava. Serve hot with curd, raita or pickle.
