1. Start With Dough

The dough is the foundation of a great paratha. Make sure it's soft and pliable. Add a pinch of salt and a spoonful of ghee to the flour before kneading.

2. Lukewarm Water Is Key

When kneading, always use lukewarm water. It helps make the dough smooth and soft, making it easier to roll and ensuring your parathas turn out perfect every time.

3. Let It Rest

Once your dough is ready, let it rest for at least 30 mins. This resting time improves elasticity, making the dough easier to roll out without any cracks.

4. Prepare The Filling

Crush the jaggery properly using your hands. Mix in cardamom powder, sesame seeds, or crushed almonds to add layers of flavour and texture to the filling.

5. Roll It Right

Take a small dough ball and roll it out slightly. Place the jaggery filling in the middle, fold up the edges to seal it, and gently roll it out again.

6. Roast Like A Pro

Heat a tawa (pan) and cook the paratha on both sides until it's golden and crisp. Brush it generously with desi ghee for that irresistible aroma and a rich finish.
