Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the jaggery syrup reaches the correct consistency to avoid making the dough too sticky.

  2. Use medium to low heat while cooking parantha to achieve a perfect texture and flavor.

  3. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and texture of the parantha.

FAQS

  1. What is one-string consistency for jaggery syrup?

    One-string consistency means when you take a drop of the syrup between your fingers and pull them apart, it forms a single thread without breaking.

  2. Can I use oil instead of desi ghee for cooking?

    Desi ghee is recommended for authentic flavor, but you can use oil if preferred.

  3. How long should I let the dough rest?

    Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the dough to soften.

  4. Can I skip fennel seeds powder?

    Fennel seeds powder adds a unique aroma and flavor to the parantha, but you can skip it if you prefer a simpler taste.

  5. How do I prevent the parantha from sticking to the pan?

    Ensure the pan is properly heated and use enough desi ghee while cooking to prevent sticking.
