1. Mix flour, oil, salt thoroughly in a bowl and then add sufficient water to make dough, knead for 5 minutes, cover and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
2. Divide dough into small size balls (like golf balls), flatten each ball into a small circle (around 2 inch diameter).
3. Spread onto the dough few drops of oil, fold over the dough such that you have a semi-circle of dough.
4. Now again spread a few drops of oil onto this semi-circle of dough and fold over the dough to form a quarter of a circle. Press the edges firmly.
5. Now cover the dough with some flour and roll it out into a rough triangle. Also you can just roll out the dough from step 3 without folding to make a round paratha.
6. Heat a tawa (flat griddle) and when tawa is very hot, place the rolled out dough on it. Leave for half a minute and then turn over.
7. The paratha will now slowly start to bubble up. Now add a teaspoon of oil onto the top of the paratha and turn over. The paratha immediately starts to blow up.
8. Repeat the drizzling with oil on this side too. Turn over again and let it rise once more. When golden brown on both sides remove from tawa and serve immediately.
9. If not planning to serve immediately, then let cool on a plate and then spread a fresh paper towel on it. Keep in a warm place until ready to serve. Serve with any type of curry.
