• You can either make it in circular shape or triangular.
• To make triangular paratha,  roll out a ball  into a 4-5 inch disc, then drizzle few drops of oil onto the rolled out chapati and evenly coat it all over.  Fold the disc into half forming a semi-circle, coat the surface with few more drops of oil. Again fold the semi-circle into half forming a triangle. Dip this triangle into the dry flour and coat all the sides.  Roll it out again with a rolling pin. Try to maintain the triangular shape.
• Place this rolled out paratha onto a hot tava or griddle and cook till golden brown on both the sides.
• Serve with any curry or raita of your choice.

Variation:

You can similarly make Ajwain Paratha, by replacing cumin seeds with Ajwain ( Carom Seeds ).
