Notes
For Dough: Don’t pour all the water at one stretch, therefore add little by little. it should be smooth and soft dough not tight
The addition of sugar enhances the taste of the paratha and gives nice golden color. if you want you can add while making the dough. I skipped adding sugar.
Addition of oil/ghee while making the dough is optional, but it gives softness to the dough.
Always give resting time to the dough (at least 15 mins), so the paratha turns very soft.
Don’t roll the paratha too thick, as it won't get cooked inside.
Also, don’t use too much flour for dusting, otherwise, the paratha turns dry.
cheese paratha should be cooked in low to medium flame only and ensure it is cooked well inside.
2. Frying the paratha in ghee adds more flavor. However, if you are calorie conscious, regular oil can also be used
