4. After 5 minutes, knead the dough once again. Then make the small size dough balls.( I made the balls of mini orange size )
5. Take one dough ball and apply the dry flour. Roll it in small size. Apply the oil on top side and fold it in half. Now again fold it in half and press it.
6. After that again apply the flour and roll it. ( You can roll this into a thick paratha or thin paratha as per your choice. Here I made the thin paratha. )
