In a bowl, add flour, ghee and salt. Mix well.
Now add water gradually and knead the dough as you go. You can do this manually by hand or use a stand mixer with the hook attachment.
Once your dough is mixed, don’t knead any more. Transfer the dough into a clean bowl, cover it and refrigerate for about 15 to 20 mins.
Bring out the dough and now knead for 5 mins with your fists. Knead till you get a smooth dough.
Make small dough balls from your dough. And keep placing them on a surface that has been sprinkled with flour.
Flatten the dough balls by pressing them in the palms of your hands. Flatten them as much as you can with ease. Sprinkle more flour on the dough discs if they become too sticky.
Use a rolling pin to flatten out one dough disc into a medium round shape.
Use a brush and cover the surface the rolled out dough with ghee.
Lift one edge of the disc and fold towards the centre. Now do the same on the opposite side.
Your paratha should look like a log right now. Use the brush and cover the surface of the exposed top of the paratha.
Bring in one end of the paratha towards the centre and bring the other to overlap the first one to form a square.
Dust the square dough with flour and roll it out to form a square paratha
