Add water to make a medium soft dough. Cover the dough with a moist cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes.

Dust the dough ball and roll to make a medium thick roti/disc

In a small bowl take 3 tbsp of cooking oil and add 2 tbsp of flour and mix well.

Now apply 1.5 tsp of this oil and flour mixture over the rolled roti /disc.

Fold the roti the way we make a paper fan or pleat a saree.

When completely folded, slightly stretch the folded dough and pull it lengthwise to give it a slight stretch.

Now roll it to make a circle.

Dust it with some dry flour and roll it gently to make paratha of medium thickness ,don’t roll it too thin,it should be medium thick

Now put the rolled paratha on a medium hot tawa/griddle and cook for a minute.

turn the side and cook till few brown spot appears on it.. Apply some oil or ghee all over the paratha and flip the side.

Press paratha with a spatula and cook till it become golden in colour.. Repeat the same process with other side too.

Remove from the tawa/griddle and crush it slightly from the sides with your hands or use a cloth

Serve hot with any curry of your choice.
