Tips & Tricks

Serve the parathas hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney for added flavor.
FAQS
Can I use other vegetables?
Yes, you can use any vegetables you have on hand, such as spinach, peas, or corn.
Can I skip semolina?
Semolina helps bind the mixture and adds a slight crunch to the paratha, but you can skip it or replace it with breadcrumbs if needed.
How do I store leftover parathas?
You can store cooked parathas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them on a skillet before serving.
Can I make the dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
It's best to freeze the cooked parathas rather than the dough. Wrap them individually and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.
