In a mixing bowl add Amarnath flour and salt. Add water gradually and bind everything together to make a dough. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a griddle on medium flame. And divide the dough into equal portions. I made 5 parathas with this.
Dust the rolling surface and gently roll. You do not have to put pressure. It is very crumbly and soft dough to handle. Just seal and keep rolling up to 5" circle. Use parchment paper to roll paratha if on the rolling surface it is difficult.
Transfer it to a heated griddle. After a few seconds flip on another side.
Apply oil or ghee on both sides and cook until golden brown. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough ball.
