Answer 2

Take fresh flour & sieve it well. Add a pinch of salt. Add water in small measures & make mix till u get a consistent dough which can be rolled into small balls. Take one of these & with a rolling pin roll it with constant pressure adding a pinch of margerine to prevent sticking to the wooden roll base. When it is becomes a circle of about 8 inches diameter put it on a frying pan( flat base) which has already been put on a medium flame earlier. Within half minute turn it over & heat the other side. Now take half a tea spoon of butter or margarine( don't overdo it if u r watching those calories)& run it all along the side till it percolates to the face in contact with the frying pan. Keep tapping it till a flufffiness appears & flip the roti paratha the other way & repeat the execise with butter etc. When both sides have become brownish & fluffy take it off the flame & have ur fill with some curd/yogurt in accompaniment.
