  10. With a pairing knife cut it into thin strips, apply a bit of the ghee-oil mixture on it & lift it from the platform & roll it in a big roundel in order to form a bun-like shape (as how we do form a cinnamon roll)- repeat this, with all the 8 dough portions and refrigerate the same for an hour
  11. Then, take it out from the fridge and flatten it's surface by applying a bit of that ghee-oil mixture and by tapping it into a flatter round surface with the hands & fingers ultimately, shaping it like a Paratha & then fry them one one
  12. Grease a frying pan/tawa for frying the Parathas & fry it as we normally do while frying any normal parathas- we’ll see that when done the fine layers or what we call the lachas, can very well be seen as they seem to separate quite easily and looks absolutely fab
