Pour this mixture into the flour and mix thoroughly. Add enough water and knead it lightly to make a soft dough and let it rest for 1/2 an hour.
  • After 1/2 an hour, divide the dough into equal portions and shape it into balls. Roll out each ball into a very thin round roti. Brush the entire surface of each roti with 1 tbsp of melted ghee and dust with flour.
  • Pleat the roti to make a number of folds(fan fold) .Roll up into a spiral. Press it between your palms and keep it aside for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, roll it out lightly into a paratha. The paratha should be not very thin nor very thick.
  • Heat a tawa, place paratha on the tawa, cook it from both sides on medium heat. Pour little ghee all around and shallow-fry the paratha till both sides are little golden brown. Lightly crush the paratha with your hands to separate the layers and serve it immediately.
