Many of you may have a long dream to become a Parota master. Today your dream going to come true. This is not so hard as we have seen the parota master making parota’s. Here is the easy way to have your delicious layered parota. Everybody going to love you and you are going to get more orders. Master are you ready? Let’s see the easy steps.
Ingredients
Maida /All purpose flour – 2 cups
Salt
Water
oil
Method
1. Mix the all purpose flour, salt and warm water (I added little sugar). Knead the dough nicely and keep it aside for 1-2 hours. Cover it with a wet towel or a close it with a lid.
2. Check the dough whether you can able to expand it (as a chewing gum) easily. If it is so this is the correct stage to proceed further.
3.Divide the dough into small balls.
4. Roll the dough into a thin layer. (expand it as much as possible)
5. Now apply some oil all over the rolled dough (U can use your hand either a brush to apply the oil)
6.Now gently fold it. (hold the dough with your two hands and and go front and back.(as we make saree pleats) You can see nice folds)
7.Now hold the folded dough with your hands and nicely tap it on the rolling board. So it will expand little more.Now roll it from one end to another. (roll like a mat)
8.Now roll the dough into parathas and fry it in a pan adding enough oil
on both sides until you see the nice brown dots all over.

9.Now remove it from fire and tap it with both of your hands when it is hot (this is to seperate the layers) Serve hot with any kind of kurma of your wish.
Hope you will become a master soon. Have a nice cooking

Hi
I tried it this weekend. The parotta had the flavor but it was hard and crumbled. I just did it the way you explained. What may have went wrong? Please suggest.
Hi Rick, everything is in kneading the dough. Knead it well until it become soft and keep it for 2 to 3 hours and prepare the parota. Hope this will help you.
thanks

Sunayan,
The folding is something like your fan fold. Hope you should have done some paper fans in your childhood, it is the same kind of folding to be applied on the rolled dough.
Or another example is that if you know to tie saree it is similar to making the fleet of the saree.

Nice demo. After rolling them, when I take it out of the board they shrink. It is so hard for me to keep them spreaded. Do you know why it happens ? and your suggestions please to avoid this. Thank You so much.
