Tips to nail the recipe
- Crispy Veggies: Never allow the veggies to get soft and mushy. Fry them over high flame for a few minutes.
- Adjust the Spice Level: Add or remove green chilies to your desired tolerance. You can include red chili flakes for extra spice.
- Don't Make The Wrap All Soggy: Try not to pack in too much of wet sauces and sauces inside the paratha because it just makes the wrap all soggy.
- Healthier Base: Use whole wheat flour in place of the all-purpose flour. In this way, you'd have a healthier base.
- cook on medium heat: It should be cooked on medium heat to attain the right crispiness; high flame should be avoided because it can burn the outer layer but remain raw in the middle.
- Add a layer of cheese or paneer within the roll to make it even more decadent for taste as well as texture.
