One bit seems to be missing is beating the paratha down on the rolling surface after it is cooked. Hold the paratha vertical with one hand and press it down with the palm of the other hand. Repeat 2-3 times with different positions around the circumference of the paratha. This softens the paratha like a cloth and ensures it does not harden over days. This brings back memories of my mother cooking the parathas in the evening over wood fire. In those days we used to make our own breads instead of buying from the 'boulangerie'.

Thanks for sharing. I tried this last night and it turned out pretty good. Only problem was it tasted a little too floury. I think I coated it with too much dry flour as I was rolling it out into circles, and then added more flour when rolling it out into squares. I'll have to try again with less flour whilst rolling.

[@lailajugon1802]

Hmm dear try it again and put less flour while rolling and also use warm water
