Pro tips:

The atta or the dough should be kneaded properly and rested for minimum 30 mins.”

“Stuffing should be completely dry, or free from moisture, to ensure the desired shape and thickness of the paratha. If stuffing contains moisture, it will become difficult to roll the parathas.”

“Any other vegetables of your choice may be used to enhance the nutritional value of the parathas.
