Ingredients: (Make about 8 parathas)

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 eggs- beaten

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp oil

2 tbsp milk

3/4 cup lukewarm water (adjust accordingly)

More oil for kneading

Method:

Combine flour, baking powder, beaten eggs, salt, milk, water, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with your hands until formed sticky mass.

Transfer the dough to the cleaned and oiled working surface.

Knead the dough for 5 minutes, and add a little oil whenever feel stickiness, until the dough is smooth and pliable

Cover the dough with the oiled cloth and rest it for 30 minutes.

Knead the dough again for few minutes and divide it into 8 equal parts. Rest the dough for another 5 minutes.

Roll each dough ball out as thin as you can. If you can, flip and flap it gently to a thin sheet.

Now cut the dough into 2-3 stripes, and twist and coin them into one ball.

Repeat other dough ball to finally have flower like coined balls.

Press the coined balls into a flat circle sheet with the rolling pin.

Heat the skillet over the medium heat.

Toast paratha in the skillet until golden brown both sides.
