Making plain paratha

1. Heat griddle and place the paratha on the griddle. The tawa should be medium hot.

2. You will soon see the paratha puffing up from the base at some places.

3. Flip the paratha when the base is 1/4 cooked. Spread some ghee.

4. Flip again when the second side is about 1/2 cooked. You will see brown spots now.

5. Spread some ghee on this side now.

6. Flip again a couple of times till you see more brown spots and the paratha is cooked evenly. 

7. Make all parathas this way. Either serve them hot or stack them in a roti basket.

8. Serve the plain paratha with any Indian dal or vegetable curry or pickle.
