Tips to make soft parathas
*The dough should be semi-soft. Knead dough using whole wheat flour, pinch of salt, one teaspoon ghee, and add water as per requirement.
*Cover and rest the dough for at least 15 minutes.
*Make paratha slightly thicker than a roti.
*Roll the paratha few times, spread ghee and tuck it. Again roll it in the shape of paratha.
*Cook on hot tawa. When you see brown spots, add ghee/oil and reduce the flame.
*Move the paratha on tawa and apply little pressure so that it cooks evenly.
How to serve and store
*Serve hot with sabzi of your choice.
*You can also store it in a casserole for a day.
You can also make stuffed parathas like aloo, gobhi, mooli, onion, or even chopped greens, using the same steps.
A foolproof way to get soft parathas is to not fry them on a low flame, which hardens them. It is also important to keep the parathas moist using a kitchen cloth.
