Notes
1. While kneading the dough be careful while adding water.
2. Kneading the dough for 5_ 10 minutes will give elasticity to dough which gives soft paratha.
3. Try to roll the paratha evenly with gentle hands that will give us puff paratha.
4. You can store these mooli parathas for at least two days just let them cool down for some time then wrap them in paper napkin and store them in zip lock.
