Notes
1. There are some ingredients which are optional. The taste of the paranthas will be awesome even if you don’t use them in your recipe. However it gives a different flavor.
2. Kneading the dough with oil or ghee will make the paranthas soft.
3. Onions should be chopped very fine so that while rolling the paranthas, it doesn’t come out and it is rolled properly.
4. Lime Juice can be used instead of Aamchur Powder. It is used to bring sourness and tangy taste in the Pyaaz Parantha.
