Recipe
notes:
Don’t overcook the potatoes and lentils; otherwise, the paratha may tear while rolling and frying.
In this recipe, I used 2 cups of fine flour and 1 cup of wheat flour. However, you can use only wheat flour or all-purpose flour if you prefer. I highly recommend mixing wheat flour with maida (fine flour) because this combination helps prevent constipation and gastric issues.
The paratha dough should be neither too soft nor too hard.
Using desi ghee for frying the parathas makes them tastier and crispier. If you have health concerns or do not like the taste of desi ghee, you can substitute it with olive oil.
