    How to make Dal Paratha:

    • Divide it into 12- 15 equal portions.
    • Set aside.

    For The Dough:

    • Add flour and salt in a large bowl, adding little water at a time to make soft, pliable dough.
    • Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic.
    • Add 1 tsp oil to coat the dough and knead little more.
    • The dough will be soft and non sticky.
    • Set aside covered for 10 minutes.
    • Make 12- 15 lemon sized balls of the dough and roll them out thin to approximately 3 inches in diameter.

    • Press the stuffed dough down. Toss it in some flour and roll it gently applying just even pressure to roll.

    • Place the stuffed parathas on the hot griddle/skillet.
    • Cook for about 1/2 a minute, flip over and add 1 teaspoon of oil/ ghee in and around the paratha.
    • Keep pressing the parathas while on the skillet so the dough gets cooked and the stuffing also gets the heat and gets pressed down into the parathas.
    • Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute adding 1 more teaspoon of oil.
    • Cook until light golden spots appear on the parathas.
