Divide the dough into equal portions.
Take one dough out and start rolling into a chapati. Drizzle a tsp of oil over the chapati.
Start folding from all sides so that it for a small folded square.

My best wishes to you! Very original parathas!
have loads of fun…the paratha looks so soft
This looks so delicious! I just bought my first ajwain seeds :).
Hi Aarthi. I love your recipes. I am new at making chapatis and parathas. Mine come out a little hard. Am wondering what I am doing wrong. Thanks.
try and make the dough soft. Cook paratha in super hot pan
Thanks for your reply Aarthi. How do I get the dough soft – I hear that warm water makes the dough soft? Thanks.
Yes u can use warm water. Also resting the dough for 30 mins will make it soft
