Take a mixing bowl mix all the ingredients . Make a well in the middle of dry mixture pour in the water and oil. Mix until the dough is of right smooth consistency. knead for couple of minutes and let rest for about 10minutes before rolling in to parathas.
Rolling the Layered Paratha
Divide the dough in to about 6 portions and roll in to balls.
Sprinkle a little flour(I prefer All purpose flour) on the rolling surface. Take 2 balls at a time.
Roll the first apply some oil and roll the second ball and lay over the first one. press the corners .Use a rolling pin to roll in to round parathas.

Roast the Parathas
Preheat an iron pan(Tava) or non stick pan at medium high flame. Roast the parathas flip once and spread some oil and flip again after few seconds. Use a spatula to lightly press and roll them around the pan.

Parathas are ready to serve when slightly brown with any curry.

You can even make 3 layered paratha by rolling together 3 balls .
