    You want a paratha dough that will be soft smooth and not sticky

    Divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal portions

  10. 10

    Cover the dough and allow the dough to rest until you get the filling ready

    Mash the arbi into a coarse lumpy texture with your fingers or a fork

  14. 14

    Once mashed, add in the finely chopped green chillies, lots of freshly chopped coriander leaves, salt to taste, half teaspoon of cumin powder, half a teaspoon of coriander powder, a teaspoon of dry mango powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder and finally if you want it extra spicy, the red chilli powder

    This process of dividing and keeping the portions of arbi paratha dough and filling ready, helps you gauge the number of parathas you can make and if you need more or less of the filling

    We dust the paratha dough in flour, flatten it with your finger and place it on a flat surface

    whole wheat flour(1 cup)

    Flip again, so the oiled side can cook on the skillet

  31. 31

    Spread a little more ghee and keep pressing the parathas while on the skillet to cook the paratha evenly from inside out

  32. 32

    Do the flipping over process a couple of times until both sides get cooked, browned and crisp evenly

  33. 33

    Make sure you cook on medium heat as it allows the arbi parathas to get a crisp on the outside and yet soft texture
