FAQs
1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of wheat flour?
While you can, wheat flour provides a more authentic flavor and texture. All-purpose flour might result in slightly less flaky parathas.
2. What if my dough is too dry or too sticky?
If too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, until you reach a pliable dough.
3. How do I store leftover parathas?
Store leftover parathas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in a pan or microwave.
