Critical Success Points

  • Achieving the correct dough consistency – not too soft, not too stiff.
  • Applying melted ghee evenly between layers.
  • Pressing the paratha firmly while frying to develop the characteristic lacy cracks.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby and never leave the pan unattended.
  • Use oven‑mitts when handling the hot tawa.
