| I learnt this from my niece, but modified to get more layers and get the paratha very soft. Knead dough as given in Chappathi-dough kneading – with dough kneader attachment Chappathi-dough kneading - Using atta kneader and food processor Make a big lemon sized ball. Roll to 8”. Apply oil - photo 1 sq pta1-1.JPG Fold as shown in 2 & again brush lightly with oil. sq pta2-s.jpg Fold again as in 3 & brush lightly with oil. sq pta 3-s.JPG Fold as in 4. sq pta4-s.JPG Now make as in 4, almost a square. Now roll gently and make paraths as usual. sq pta5-s.JPG The final product can be square or round – it does not matter. Shallow fry on a tava without oil since this has enough oil.

| In this, the radius cut is made & the folding is overlapped, stepping up gradually. As you roll, you step up to get a longer spiral roll. spiral paratha1-s.JPG spiral paratha2-s.JPG spiral paratha3-s.JPG round paratha4-s.JPG Then follow as for round paratha or layered paratha. round paratha5-s.JPG Last edited by Chitvish; 25th August 2008 at 10:34 AM. |

| Dear aunty, What is the difference between the second step of the Round Paratha and the first step of the Spiral paratha? In both the pictures, the radius is cut and folded ..right? Oh oh..now I see it...for the Spiral paratha, you seemed to have cut it a bit more than the radius length..? That is why it appears longer after it is folded compared to the round parathas? Thanks & regards Krithika Last edited by Jithiks; 14th August 2008 at 09:05 AM. |

| Dear Krithi, Extremely flattering to receive suach a quick FB. After the new dough-kneading method, parathas have become a child's play. I have ready 4 more to be posted besides 10-12 lined up for trying out!! The picture is not mint paratha. Two are palak-alu paratha & red pumpkin-palak paratha!! Love, Chithra. Quote:

| Dear Krithi, No, for round paratha, I have rolled it along the circumference. For the spiral paratha, I go on stepping it up gradually to get a long spiral. I have changed to a larger KB photo for better viewing. Tell me if it is clear now. All, for your viewing pleasure, my dear ILites!! Love, Chithra. Quote:

| Dear Chitra Just now saw the perfect demonstation of parata making. I have a doubt in spiral and round ones is it the same one that looks stacked up? When we roll does it get like that or we have to roll it ? Kindly explain. Waiting to try all the parattas. The square ones look different. Very nice pictures. You have a lot of patience. Thanks chitra with best regards shubha |

| Dear Shubha, When stacked up, though it looks same in the photo, it is different with more layers in spiral. I don't get When we roll does it get like that or we have to roll it ? We have to roll it differently for both. Read my post to Jithiks. Love, Chithra. Quote:
