We often make stuffed paranthas for the breakfast which are liked by almost everyone.
Today we will make plain paranthas.
Let’s see what all ingredients are required for making plain paranthas.

Water - to knead dough
Firstly we will knead dough.
Add salt and 2 tsp oil in the flour.

Add little water at a time and knead dough.
For kneading dough we use half the amount of water than flour.
We have taken 2 cup of water so 1 cup of water will be used.
Cover and keep aside the dough for 20 minuets so that it puffs up.
Grease you hand with some oil and knead dough.
Dough is ready; now we will make paranthas from it.

We have taken some dry flour for rolling the paranthas.
This dry flour is known as parothan.
Take little amount of dough (equal to the size of small lemon).
We are making medium size paranthas.
Roll the dough and dust with dry flour.
We can make plain paranthas with two ways either in round or triangular shape.
We are making round plain paranthas.

With this much dough 8 paranthas can be prepared.
We placed the paranthas over a bowl kept above plate so that it doesn’t get soggy from beneath else it will not taste good.
Place the paranthas on the plate first and then stack them up and place in a casserole.
We have prepared two types of paranthas .i.e. round and triangular shaped.
