- Mix flour, oil, salt thoroughly in a bowl and then add sufficient water to make dough, knead for 5 minutes, cover and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
- Divide dough into small size balls (like golf balls), flatten each ball into a small circle (around 2 inch diameter).
- Spread onto the dough few drops of oil and roll it out into a circle.
- Heat a tawa (flat griddle) and when tawa is very hot, place the rolled out dough on it. Leave for half a minute and then turn over.

- Remove from tawa when the paratha turns golden brown. Serve hot with fresh grounded pepper over it.
