With these cuts as your reference, roll the rest of the dough into a thread-like structure.
Roll your rope together to form a spiral shape.
Take another ball of our rested super soft dough and roll it into a thin sheet. Cut thin strips out of this sheet.
Bring these strips of dough close together.
Pull the concentrated strip slightly so as to stretch it.
Roll the strip into another spiral.
With your palm, slightly flatten this spiral.
Flatten it into a disc.
Prepare a hot tawa and set it on medium flame. Place your parotta disc on the tawa.
Add 1 tablespoon oil through its circumference.
Periodically flip over.
Press and cook the dough into a crispy delicious Parotta.
The tough turns brown to show preparedness.
