Divide the prepared dough into equal parts and roll them into smooth balls.
Roll the paratha-
On a dusted surface, take one ball and evenly roll the paratha into a 6 to 7-inch circle with a rolling pin.
Roll it gently and apply equal pressure when rolling. Shake off the excess flour. Similarly, make all the parathas and keep them ready
Cook the paratha-
Heat an iron tawa and make sure it is hot. The heat should be at medium to medium-high.
Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Let it cook for 30 seconds or so, spread ½ to ¾ tsp of oil around the edges, and cook for 30 seconds.
Now flip the parathas and spread some oil on top of the paratha. Gently press the paratha with the spatula and cook until you see the brown spots like below.
Place the prepared paratha separately. And cook the remaining parathas similarly.
