Lets start with Tawa Paratha:

  1. Milk – ½ cup
  2. Ground sugar – 1 tbsp
  3. Baking powder – ½ tsp
  4. Flour – 2 cups
  5. Ghee – 2 tbsp
  6. Salt – ½ tsp

Method:

Mix ghee, sugar, egg, baking powder, milk and salt in flour and make dough with warm water, leave at least for 1 hour. Divide the dough into small balls, roll it and apply rice flour paste, then make rope . Now apply paste on rope as well. Then with a rolling pin, slightly roll it into a circle. Don’t press too hard and don’t roll it too thin. Place it in a skillet and cook it with some ghee. You can serve with fry keema or chicken khageena.But here I made Chana Masala. Really crispy and delicious paratha can be eaten with just a cup of tea. :)
