Chef Gary wrote, āA little paratha/parotta obsession isnāt good for the waistline, but god they are deliciousā¦ As you know, I love all types of bread, the dough and technique is very simple but flaky Thatās too hardāt. However, when you get it right, the difference between the crispness/crunchiness/flakyness and the soft tender interior is more than a little magic.ā Additionally, he recommends serving parathas with homemade dal tadka for a āheavenlyā meal.
