Combine all above ingredients and mix well and knead into soft dough (adding water only if needed). Divide the dough into 3 equal portions and roll out each portion into a circle of 6-inch diameter.

Heat a skillet (tawa); spray or put few drops of oil to grease skillet for the first paratha only. Cook paratha on both sides until reddish-brown spots appear. Do not leave parathas standing too long, as they will stiffen up. Serve immediately.
