Paratha is usually called as parota over here.Here in Nagercoil there are so many parota shop,They usually serve parota with a lovely salna,it will be so nice to have on a rainy day.The Parata they make is entirely different there are so many methods in doing that,they will just throw the dough in air to make it thin but it doesn’t work for me.But this recipe is so simple and the parota even turns out so flaky and so soft.So every one can try it.
I served it with Vegetable Korma(For recipe Check this Link ) but you could serve it with Chicken gravy or Salna .I had even given Step by step instructions so it will be so helpful to you.
So Just make it over this weekend and please let me know how it turned out.

I love this, the whole presentation… will try it out pretty soon. I've never found a good paratha recipe before, this looks easy and really flaky.
Is there a way to make these parathas without milk, using curd or water or butter instead?
Use luke warm water
Yes…You could use Curd+Water and knead the dough and follow the same procedure…Give the dough a resting time of 1-2 hours.It will probably give you the same result.I haven't tried this…Hope you try and tell me how it turned out…

Hi Aarti, ur recipe is awesome.. I tried it at home. It came out amazing. I have clicked the snaps also.. But couldn't upload to show u
Hai, Is there anyway to.Store the dough to do it later, I have 2 small kids, and it is difficult to do the procedure evrrytime
@Hemapriya NatesanYou can store this in a air tight container in fridge and use it whenever you need. It will keep well for 2 to 3 days
This recipe looks great, but I'm a beginner so of course it did not turn out as well as yours. I could use some tips, i replaced maida with all purpose flour and the dough came out very elastic, so it was hard to roll out. I managed with a great deal of effort to roll it out paper thin and everything looked fine till I tried rolling the balls into parathas. They were very Rubbery and wouldn't hold shape so they wound up thick, hard and uncooked inside. Just wondering if this is because I used all purpose flour instead of maida or if there could be another reason?
@Praveena DewarsI think it is because you have kneaded to dough really hard i hope. You have to make it soft and smooth and allow it to rest for 4 hours. if you do this, you will get a soft paratha
haiiii arthi……

Arthi,
Should I leave the dough in refrigerator or out for 4 hr, n same question after making the balls should I put in in fridge for 1 hour or just at room temperature. I appreciate ur help.
@Anonymousno need to put in fridge, store it out at room temp
I am a begginer..I followed many of your recipes and everything came out so well and tasty…thanks for it…
Looks yummy porota … Never eating good porota other than south Tamil nadu.. I tried once with egg similar to your recipe but couldn't get this flakes.. So avoiding egg is better right aarthi??
@Anonymousyes this recipe works wonderful
Your blog is too helpful,nd thanks for your blog,i am having one doubt.after making the dough the resting time is 2 hours and after making the stripes nd ball, again 2 hours,orelse 4 and then again 4 hours???
Hi aarthi,the dough can make thin rotis by oil or atta?when we try to make thin parathha ,it will shruk again and again na? Bcoz its maida na,if we can make thin means how to do??plz help me to do this.
@Anonymousmake the dough and rest it for 4 hours. roll it and cut it and make it into the ball and rest it for 1 hour. then make paratha
@Manivasagan Sthe paratha will be little thick not too thin..
@Praveena Dewars You can also check the oil content. Parota takes up lot of oil. Maida and all-purpose flour doesn't make any difference.
Thanks so much for the recipe.
For the vegan folk out there, you can sub the milk for soy milk (or any other plant based milk, really). It's better for the animals and better for you too! Give it a try.
I just made mine and they turned out awesome!
How many cups s halfkg maida ??
