• after 2hours of rest, divide the dough into equal sized balls
• brush oil-ghee on each balls and rest them for 20 - 30minutes;this resting period is to allow the gluten to relax and thereby make it easy to roll out and shape the dough
• now apply some oil on your counter top 
• roll the ball using a rolling pin into a very thin sheet
• brush oil-ghee and then sprinkle some flour which will prevent the pleats from sticking together
• cut the sheet using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter leaving one end intact
• lift the sheet and pleat lengthwise from one end to another[please refer the video] and make a spiral
• brush some oil to prevent drying and repeat the same with the remaining balls
• then take a spiral ball onto a greased surface and flaten it using rolling pin;do not make it too thick or too thin
• place this on hot tawa and cook this on medium flame;cook each side for one minute;then apply some ghee - oil mix and cook for a couple of minutes more;the outside should have a golden colour and the inside should be cooked properly
• keep the cooked parotta warm until you finish all the parottas
