Roll the parathas by applying little flour and dont make them very thin.

Heat a tawa and when hot place the paratha and let cook slighlty on one side.

Then flip over and slightly cook the other side as well.

Spread oil on both the sides of the parathas and roast them nicely till crisp.

U can replace moong dal with chana dal and follow the same procedure.
