  Quick Tips:


  1. The more you allow the dough to sit the smooth the paratas will be . 
  2. Knead the dough thoroughly with a smooth texture for a puffy outcome.
  3. Don't add any water while preparing the stuff this may make the curry wet which is not desirable for stuffing 
  4.  Roll the parata smoothly and evenly so that the stuff proportionally spreads .
  5. You can use extra dry wheat flour or oil while rolling for balancing the texture or for ease . 
  6. Roast the cumin seeds and grind them using a stomper &pestle  for optimum taste .
