1 teaspoon oil

For making dough
Mix all the ingredients and enough water to make a soft dough. Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll out each portion into very thin 150mm diameter rounds.

How to proceed
Cook on a tawa (griddle) very lightly for a few seconds. Put a portion of the desired stuffing in each paratha and fold. Arrange on a greased baking tray. Brush the parathas lightly with butter and bake in a hot oven at 200 deg C until light pink in colour (about 5 minutes). Alternatively, cook on a tawa (griddle) on both sides and brush lightly with butter or oil.
