Though there are a lot of parattas, Most common of all is the Aloo Paratta. 1. Pressure cook 4 potatoes for 3 whistles and peel them off and mash nicely. Add 1 tbsp of turmeric powder, 1 tbsp of chilli powder and 1-2 chopped green chillies, 1-2 tbsp of grated ginger, salt to the potatoes and mix well by hand. 2. Now, make chapathi balls and spread them. Keep a small portion of this potato mixture in the center and close the chapathi and knead again. 3. Cook in the tava in both sides adding oil. Served with Curd and pickle. Gobi Paratta: 1. Cut the cauliflower and chop them into very fine florets (Shredding). 2. Mix cauliflower, 1/2 tbsp of salt, 1/2 tbsp of cumin seeds and 1 handful of coriander leaves and 1 finely chopped green chilli and set aside for 5 mins. 3. Now try to squeeze the excess water from the mixture. Use this as a filling to make parattas.

There are several ways to make softer chapathis. 1. By adding oil. I add 2-3 tbsp of gingelly oil and I get very soft rotis 2. Alternately, if you knead the dough for a longer time and if you add the right quantity of water while kneading, you would get softer rotis.

This is how I make Naan at home. I dont use oven. 1. Use all purpose flour or maida, add salt, 1-2 tbsp of oil, 1/2 tbsp of yeast (dissolved in water) and mix well and make a dough. 2. Leave aside for 3 hours. Again, knead the dough and leave aside. The quantity of the dough will actually double in 3-4 hours. You can make Naan in the same way of chapathi, in a tawa in gas stove.
