Notes
Make sure you knead the dough and leave it rest for 4 to 6 hours. The longer you rest the dough the more soft the paratha is.
Roll the dough into thin sheets. The thinner the sheets are the flakier the paratha.
Using pizza cutter is easy way for making thread like strips. If you don’t have pizza cutter, use knife to cut as thin as possible.
After the paratha is cooked, crust it really well to expose the flakiness which we created.
