Notes

  • Knead the parathas into a soft dough so that they roll out evenly and cook over very low heat to obtain a crispy consistency.
  • The more layers you cut in this paratha the more crispier paratha you will enjoy.
  • Make sure the tawa is hot before you put the parathas in it, and make sure the parathas are always made in ghee to add to its flavor.
  • High heat burns them, and very low heat makes them tight, but high heat causes them to burn, while low heat does not burn them.
  • Do not fill your paratha with excess chopped coriander leaves as the dough will be wet and it will then tough to roll the parathas.
  • Dust flour while rolling if there is excess moisture.
