  5. Take roasted cumin powder in a mixing bowl, add chaat masala and black pepper powder and mix well to make the spice mix.
  6. To roll the paratha, divide the dough into lemon size paratha ball and roll it into 5-6 inch circular chappati.

  8. Start making pleats (like a Chinese fan) from one side approximately 1-2 cm in thickness until it becomes pile of strips.
  9. Now roll the right end of paratha strip inwards and make circular disc. Once rolled, press the left end of paratha strip below the center of rolled disc.
  10. Now place the paratha on rolling board and roll into 5-6 inch circle flat bread.

  12. Once bubbles appear on top, flip the paratha and apply oil or ghee on the topside.
