The recipe to make these parathas is quite easy. All you have to do is knead the dough and roll it into small balls. You can then put them on a wooden base and then roll over them to make them thin and circular. You can then add the fillings of your choice on the dough and then put them in a hot pan filled with oil or ghee to fry. Parathas are very popular in the northern parts of India and you will find them on the highways as well. But the best parathas can be found in the Parathe Wali Gali. After the parathas stop by a small stall and taste the lip smacking jalebis. The street chaats are also very popular here and you can try your hand at them as well.
