  • Give everything a quick mix and try to make a dough.
  • You would be able to make a smooth dough without water, as there would be water in onion and tomato.
  • If you are unable too, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
  • Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.

Notes

  • 1 Cup = 235 ml, 1 tbsp= 15 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
  • Do not roll out the paratha too thin or it would be difficult to lift and put it on the tawa/griddle.
  • Traditionally garlic is also used in this recipe. One can grate and add, I do not like garlic in my flatbread and hence I have skipped it.
