Chef Gary wrote, “A little paratha/parotta obsession isn’t good for the waistline, but god they are delicious… As you know, I love all types of bread, the dough and technique is very simple but flaky That’s too hard’t. However, when you get it right, the difference between the crispness/crunchiness/flakyness and the soft tender interior is more than a little magic.” Additionally, he recommends serving parathas with homemade dal tadka for a “heavenly” meal.
Their carousel post shows us this great combo. It also gives a glimpse of their parotta preparation. We see round pieces of dough that have been kneaded, shaped and folded in a specific way – they are placed together in a large bowl. A short clip shows a parotta being flipped on a pan, revealing its beautiful golden-brown surface glistening with butter. Finally, there is also a picture of simply cooked parathas, with crispy layers. Take a look below:

He was amazed by her creations and said that “as far as I’m concerned she has the skill to dream.” The reel created a stir on social media. Click here to read the full story.
