Mix flour, salt and 1 cup/ 240 ml water. Add enough of
remaining water (¼ cup/60 ml), 2 tbsp/30 ml at a time, mixing after each addition,
till dough forms a soft ball (stop adding water before dough becomes wet and

These recipe steps are adapted from ‘’ Rotis and Naans by
Purobi Babbar”
Roll out into thin chapatis of 5 - inch diameter with the help of a dry
flour.
Now smear a little ghee, with a spoon on the roti (the upper
surface only) and fold it over into a semi circle.
Smear some more ghee over the upper surface and fold it the
second time. Double fold it length ways press it gently with fingers and roll
into a round circle making the edges thinner than centre.
Place it on a hot griddle, turn over once and smear with
ghee / oil again.
Cook for few seconds, turn over again and smear the other
side with ghee / oil as well.
Cook for further few seconds until the paratha is golden
brown on both sides. Serve hot.
