  • Then dry roast it on a griddle/skillet/non stick pan, on medium heat.Then flip and apply little oil or butter on both the sides, and cook by pressing it with a spatula till both sides are golden and crisp.

  • Serving suggestion: Parathas go best with yogurt, Indian pickles or tomato chutney.

Note-
  1. Anardana powder can be substituted with dried mango powder (amchoor).
  2. If fresh fenugreek leaves are not available then you can wash and soak 3-4 tbsp of kasoori methi / dried fenugreek leaves in water for 5 minutes and then add in the dough.
