In a bowl, combine all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry) and knead into a soft dough with required quantity of water. Keep aside to rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle like chapattis. Heat a tawa / griddle and sallow fry the parathas one at a time by smearing some oil on both the sides into a light golden colour.
Serve hot with some pickles, yoghurt, butter or any side dish.
