How to make paratha dough
- Firstly, take 1 cup whole wheat flour. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil to it. If you want, you can take 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/2 cup refined flour also. I recommend using wheat flour only for health benefits.
2. Knead it into a dough with water as required. I have used 1/2 cup water to turn the flour into dough. Rest the dough for at least 10 minutes and then grease with 1 tsp oil and make it smooth by kneading again for a minute.
3. Divide the paratha dough into four equal balls.
