Question ..

What do you think is the trick behind obtaining a perfectly soft, layered and crispy pratha?

Choose one out of these options please:

1 - A really hot pan/tawa before putting the paratha on ..

2- Using Ghee / butter in excess and rolling it nicely so that if gets layers and softens up

3- cooking it on low heat

4- making a really soft dough for paratha

5 - Adding some oil while goonding the paratha aata ..

Re: Question ..

I think the trick lies in the hot tawa ... Tested several times and that the day I cook it on a hot Tawa it comes out super crispy and beautiful :@:

Re: Question ..

if you use too hot tawa, outside is cooked beyond recognition while inside the aaTaa is still kinda raw that gives you the feel of a soft paraaThaa…yeh hunar nahiiN, be-hunarii hai :cb:
