Step-by-Step Instructions for Paratha Recipe
- Combine all-purpose flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk warm water, yogurt, and vegetable oil until smooth, then pour into the flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, covering with a damp cloth.
- Let the dough rest for 1 hour at room temperature, covering the bowl with a kitchen towel.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll one piece out to 6 inches in diameter, brush with melted butter, roll into a log, twist into a spiral, and repeat with the rest. Let them rest for another hour.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Flatten a coiled piece of dough and roll it out to an 8-inch circle. Cook for about 20 seconds on each side, brushing with melted butter, until golden and puffed.
- Remove the cooked paratha and gently scrunch it to separate the layers. Keep warm in a cloth until ready to serve.

Notes
For best results, do not skip resting times, and keep the skillet preheated for proper cooking.
