- Also, paratha dough should be soft and smooth, so it is not easily stretched while rolling paratha.
- Lastly, you can apply either ghee or oil while roasting. Also roast paratha on a medium flame for the crispy outer layer.
For roasted chili and peanut raita
- use medium size chilies so that they would be easy to cook, roast, and cut it into pieces for the raita.
- if you feel green chilies are too spicy for this recipe, you can use bell peppers or green capsicum for the same taste and flavor.
- you add other veggies like boiled potatoes, cucumber, and tomato pieces into the raita.
