Tarla Dalal    Yes you can store them in aluminium foil. But once opened they cannot be frozen again. So store in small numbers.

Tarla Dalal    Falguni, freeze your parathas. They will be hard. Then ship to the US by air and they should be refrozen when it gets there. Let us know after you have done this. We would then update the recipe for all users.
