In a mixing bowl add 250g atta flour or chapati flour with a tablespoon of ghee and a generous pinch of salt. Give it a mix with your fingers. 2. Gradually add the water, mixing it through the flour before adding more. Continue mixing so all the water is absorbed by the flour. Move the dough around the bowl, kneading until you have one large dough ball. 3. Take a handful of the dough, roughly 40g, and roll it into a ball in your hands. Dip the dough into some more flour and begin rolling with a rolling pin into a circular shape. 4. When you have achieved a flat circle, use a spoon to massage a little ghee over the dough. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut a line into the centre of the circle. Create a fold and roll it around the entire diameter of the dough, so you are left with a cone shape. 5. Stand the cone into the palm of your hand and press down with your other hand to flatten it. Dip it back into the flour and begin rolling it again - gently this time. Continue rolling until you have achieved a flat circle again. 6. Return to step 3 and roll out the rest of the dough. 7. Heat your tava or frying pan to a medium heat. Once the pan has reached temperature place a paratha onto the centre of the pan. Cook for 1 minute on each side. Spread a little ghee on each side of the paratha while it’s in the pan. The inside of your paratha will be soft and the outside will be beautiful and crispy. 8. Repeat this process for all your rolled out dough.
