Step 6

When all the parathas are done rolling, then heat a pan .

Step 7

When the pan turns hot, transfer a paratha and begin to cook.

Step 8

When tiny bubbles begin to arise, then flip and cook on the other side till brown spots are visible. Smear ghee as needed.

Step 9

Finish toasting all the parathas. Stack them on a kitchen tissue to keep them soft.

Step 10

Serve lauki paratha with raita, chutney or curry.
