Re: What is the shape of your Paratha?
there is no such thing as a round paratha unless you are making it out of maida and deep frying it to eat with seekh kababs.
the shallow fried ones we make at home are always square…initially rolled round, ghee applied, folded square and then rolled out again for cooking…keep in mind that these are slightly fried on the tawa.
the “layered” ones that everyone is referring to are called “parath-daar roti”…initially rolled round, ghee applied, folded and rolled to a rope and then coiled onto itself in a circle, rolled again and then cooked…after cooking the roti is then “crumpled” slightly and another layer of ghee applied just before it is served…
man…we’re having parathay tonight.
Is this what you’re talking about?
PS, I’m sorry if this is in bad taste to post right now…
