  2. jazakallah khairan dear for the inspiration .. 😀

  3. Love it, my mother also makes this paratha but in a different way.

  4. Apu great recipe! Would you please let us know the milk/water measurement? My paratha becomes very dry and hard! I tried adding more oil and water but same result! Also it brakes like bakharkhani when I fry them! Helpppppp

    • try adding milk or water little by little until u get a perfect medium soft dough .. the absorption quality off all flour of diff brands is not same .. so what I do < i add water little by little till I get the desired dough . And remember it must not be a stiff dough . if u add too much oil , but dough is stiff or tough , it will break like bakar khani .. 🙂

  6. JAZAK ALLAH FOR THIS YUMM RECIPE
