furthermore, i would like to highlight some of the easy and important tips, suggestions and variations for garlic paratha recipe. firstly, i have made this recipe with wheat flour as it is easy to digest and healthy. but you can also make with plain flour as it is served in restaurants and hotels. secondly, if you find layering is time-consuming and overwhelming, you can use the same dough to make plain roti from it. lastly, as an extension to this recipe, you can have a topping of finely chopped garlic and chillies with melted butter on top of the paratha. basically very similar to the garlic naan recipe. you may have to stick the paratha to tawa by applying water on one side and fry it like any naan.
