Divide the dough into small portions. Roll out each portion into a small circle’s.Use
plastic paper to roll. Using plastic paper, you
can roll the paratha without using extra flour.
When the roast paratha, it will required less
oil this way.

Heat a tava (griddle) and roast each paratha (circle) using a little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour on both the sides.

Serve hot with tomato chutney or tomato ketchup or curd or any Indian pickle.

I love this recipe as it does not call for any stuffing like the traditional paratha’s. It is just chop and mix in bowl.
