Plain parathas may look simple, but achieving that soft, flaky bite depends entirely on the dough. Using Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta transforms this everyday bread; its high water absorption gives a smooth, supple dough, while the natural aroma adds depth. The method here ensures even beginners get consistently soft, layered parathas without effort.
Begin by combining Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta and salt in a wide bowl. Pour water gradually so the atta absorbs it evenly; Sharbati grains hydrate quickly because of their natural structure. Keep kneading until the dough feels smooth and elastic. Once shaped, let it rest covered; this short pause softens the gluten and gives a more supple dough.

Shape the Parathas
Divide the rested dough into equal balls. Dust each lightly with atta and roll into a small disc. Spread a thin layer of ghee across the surface. Fold the disc into a semicircle, gently pressing along the edges. Roll again, keeping the dough even on all sides. This layering step helps the paratha puff gently and cook without drying out.

Cook on the Tawa
Heat a tawa on a medium flame. Place the rolled paratha and wait for faint bubbles to appear. Flip the paratha and brush ghee on the cooked side. Flip again and apply ghee to the second side. Let it cook until both surfaces turn golden with light brown patches. Take your time; steady heat ensures softness while keeping the layers intact.

Serve Fresh
Lift the cooked paratha off the tawa and place it on a plate. Because of the premium Sharbati wheat, these parathas stay tender even after cooling, making them ideal for lunchboxes as well. Serve immediately with curd, pickle, dal, or sabzi for a wholesome meal.
