Method

To make masala paratha, we will make masala first. For making masala dry roast the besan on low flame till it changes color and turns aromatic (4-5 min). Turn off the flame and add all the spices in roasted besan at the same time when it is hot, and let spices simmer in besan till the besan cools down.

On the other hand, knead a soft dough and let it rest for 10 min. Take a medium size dough and roll it like normal chapati, spread the ghee all over the chapati, and sprinkle a generous amount of cooked masala over it, now fold it into a square shape of paratha so that paratha will have prominent layers.

Now heat the pan and place the paratha, the pan should be medium hot roast the masala paratha like any other paratha. Your 'Instant Masala Paratha' is ready.
