Ingredients

500 gm maida
1 egg
1/4 cup Milk
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons ghee / dalda
Water & salt as required


Directions

1. Blend egg well with milk, water and salt and add this to the flour. Knead the mixture well enough to a consistency slightly loose than that of chappathi. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and leave it for 2 or 3 hrs. 2. Then divide it into

balls of equal size(a big lemon size). Apply some oil and roll it out into thin rounds like chappathi.

3. Again pour some generous amount oil/ghee/dalda and then roll the \'chappathi\' from both the ends towards the middle. Hold the \'chappathi\' from one end and curl it into a flat round roll.

4. Keep doing the same with the remaining balls. Once finished, take the first roll and roll it out flat using a roller pin once again, not too thin and roast it on a hot tava, pressing it occasionally, so that it starts bulging.

5. Once you have made a few \'parathas\' like this, hold 2 porotas and smash it against each other, so that it will turn out to be soft and layered. Serve hot with any of your spicy curries.

Add little milk to onions while frying will help retain a rich color and prevent them from burning.
