My mom tip-

*Use ghee while making parathas for richer taste.
*Make a very soft dough for paratha, otherwise it will come out while rolling it.
*Always check your heat while making parathas. For nice crunchy delicious parathas - make sure that your heat is medium while cooking parathas.
If the heat is low it will  come out harder.
If the heat is high it will burn parathas.
A good crunchy parathas should be golden brown in colour.
*Do not compromise with ghee/ refine oil while cooking parathas. One tsp each sides are enough for  good paratha.

That's all for today,
We will come with more delicious recipes very soon.

Till then ,
We are signing off.
Take care and stay blessed.
