Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls.

Flatten each ball and apply ghee on top, then fold into a square.

Roll out each square into a thin circle using a rolling pin.

Place the rolled parotta in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Repeat with remaining dough, adding more oil as needed.

Serve hot with curry or chutney.
