Mix everything really well and add water in small portions to knead stiff and tight dough. Add 1 tsp oil to the dough and knead well. Cover and keep aside the dough for 10 minutes to rest.
Dough for making paranthas is now ready. Preheat a tawa on flame. Pinch small portion from the dough and make a round dough ball. Dust it with some dry flour and roll out to 4 to 5 inch diameter circular round. Apply some oil over this and fold into half. Apply some more oil in the folded parantha and fold again in a triangular shape. Dust this with some dry flour and roll out to a thick triangular parantha.
Grease the tawa with some oil. Place the rolled parantha over the hot tawa. When its roasted from beneath, flip the side. When you see little brown spots on the other side, then apply some oil on the upper side and flip. Apply some oil on the other side as well. Now press the parantha with a spoon and roast until it gets brown spots on both sides. Then take off the parantha from the tawa and stack up on a bowl kept above the plate. Similarly prepare the rest of the paranthas. With this much dough 6 paranthas can be prepared.
