Method

Take atta and spices in a bowl. Add oil and cilantro; rub using your fingertips and mix.

Add little water at a time and start kneading the dough. You might need less or more water depending on the quality and freshness of the flour. Dough should be soft like plain paratha dough.

Let it rest for 15 minutes covered.

After 15 minutes, knead the dough once again and smooth out. Divide it into 9 equal portions.

Make smooth ball and flatten it between your palms. Simultaneously, heat the tawa or skillet on medium to fry the 

paratha.

While it is heating, work with one flatten ball a time, roll into about 5 inch diameter circle.

Then oil and fold as per shown in the method above.

Then roll again keeping the square shape, if you manage.

Now tawa should be hot, fry the paratha using little oil till it is browned and cooked from both sides.

Repeat the same process till all the parathas are ready. 

Serve with any pickle or yogurt.
