My wife and I are trying to figure out how to make the tasty, flaky Tamil parothas. She doesn't remember how exactly to make them...her Mom didn't make them very much. On the other hand, I love them and they go great with meat (we're both RC =).

Thanks for any help

  i think the trick is to use maida and knead it with water and a little ghee. keep wrapped in seran wrap for a few hours. to roll, make a cirle like roti, then smear with ghee well, esp. the edges, then beginning from the edge, fold it into little pleats like sari pleats till you get a long thin layered piece. then coil it around tightly into a round and roll out again and shallow fry in ghee. the pleats help to form layers.

  I was told by a friend to just use oil (and lots of it). Leave it for a few hours then make your pleats. Leave it again for 6-7 hours. Now make the parota with your hands (flatten them with your palm and not with the roller). I haven't tried it but you sure can.

  i agree with Reena's recipe..but after u cooked 3 parathas then take then and keep in the counter top one above the other then beat in the sides with ur hand. This will help parothas comeout well layered.
