Greek yogurt offers a similar texture with more protein, while sour cream is often less expensive.

Measure out white flour in a bowl or KitchenAid mixer.

Add a few splashes of oil and a pinch of salt to the flour.

Pour in lukewarm water and knead until the dough is soft, supple, and not sticky.

Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Portion the rested dough into three pieces for large flatbreads (8 to 10 inches in diameter) or adjust portions as needed.

Shape the portions into balls and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes to relax the dough.

Sprinkle a bit of flour on the counter to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough.

Roll out each ball into a thin disc.

Heat a tawa pan until smoking (or use a cast iron or non-stick pan at lower temperatures).

Cook the first side of the rolled-out paratha until bubbles form.

Flip the paratha and cook the other side, adding ghee or olive oil on top to create a golden brown crust.

Set the cooked paratha aside and repeat with remaining dough.
