Method to make triangular folded plain paratha

Pinch a medium sized ball from the dough. Flatten and dust with some flour.

With a rolling pin, roll into a circle of about 4 inches diameter.

Spread some ghee on the dough circle. Fold in a half.

Now spread some ghee on this half folded dough.

Fold sideways and this time you will get a folded triangle.

Dust some flour on the folded triangle. Now begin to roll the folded triangle.

Add some flour if required and roll into a circle of about 6 to to 7 inches diameter.

Begin to roll. Add some more flour if required while rolling. Roll into a round paratha

Making plain paratha

Heat tava (griddle) and place the paratha on the tava. The tawa should be medium hot.

You will soon see the paratha puffing up from the base at some places.

Flip the paratha when the base is 1/4 cooked. Spread some ghee.

Flip again when the second side is about 1/2 cooked. You will see brown spots now.

Spread some ghee on this side now..

Flip again a couple of times till you see more brown spots and the paratha is cooked evenly. 

Make all parathas this way. Either serve them hot or stack them in a roti basket.

Serve these plain paratha with any qeema or vegetable curry or pickle.
