  2. Combine the plain flour, whole wheat flour, milk, salt and enough water to make a smooth, soft dough.
  3. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each portion into a roti of 250 mm. (10") diameter.
  4. Place one roti on a flat surface and spread some rice flour paste on one side.
  5. Place another roti on top and repeat the process till all the 10 rotis have been placed one on top of the other interlaced with the rice flour paste including the top most roti.
  6. Roll it tightly from end to the other end and cut it into 10 equal portions.
  7. Flatten one portion between your palms and again roll into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
  8. Heat a hot tava (griddle) and cook the paratha, using a little ghee, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to make 9 more parathas.

very nice and tasty. I've tried with little variation. Add some salt to dough. Instead of paratha size, roll for puri size and then deep fry all puries in ghee. Sprinkle some grinded sugar when puries are warm. Thes will give it crispy sweet taste and kids will love il.
