- Keep kneading the dough for 6-7 minutes before rolling it.
- The dough’s texture needs to be really elastic otherwise the paratha won’t be soft.
- You can add little oil in the dough and then knead the dough for longer duration
- When the dough acquires desired consistency cover and rests the dough for 10-20 mins.
- Now, divide the dough into 4-5 parts, roll it in the palm of your hands to make round balls.
- Now dust these balls with dry flour, roll them with a rolling pin and shape them in thin circles.
- Heat up a griddle or tava and smear it with a teaspoon of oil.
- Gently place it over hot tava and cook from both the sides. Flip it when brown spots start to appear and cook from other side similarly. You can apply 1/4 tsp oil before flipping.
- Repeat the process till all theplas are cooked. Switch off the heat and have it with pickle or chutney.
