Parantas
I make fairly tasty parantas, however i have one problem the center somtimes is more harder and then the rest. Can some one please tell me how to make softer and more even parantas. I especially want the center of the paranta to be even with the rest of the paranta. I would love to hear everyones tips.

Parantas
Dear Neha,
There are some things to be considered while making parathas. Always ensure that the flame is on a high. That way you would get even heat all over the tawa. If you make parathas when your flame is on medium / simmer mode, more heat would concentrate on the middle and the corners would take longer to cook. Your parathas would also turn hard as the time to cook will be longer and the longer the parathas are on the tawa, it would only help to make the more heated part crisp - in your case the middle part. Ever left a roti / paratha on the tawa after you've switched off the gas? It would become crisp like a papad. Always remove the paratha from the tawa when it's done.
Hope this solves your problem.

BG,
I guess the south Indian(kerala style)ones are called paratha & the north Indian stuffed ones are called parantas...

thanx for the replies
thank you for all of your replies, i appreciate it. Sukanya i will definetly try to keep the heat high when i cook the paranta, thank you for your tip. bingle there is no difference btwn paratha and paranta its how ever you say it......"you say potato......I say patato"
alan i cant blame you lol for getting hungry, parantas are definetly appetizing, tasty and most of all filling! I would love to know your mom's recipe on how she makes her parantas. My favorite paranta is muli ka paranta and let me tell you guys as wonderful as the taste of the paranta the harder the work. with muli you have to do squeeze the water out as much as you can, try to put the salt at time you ar emaking the paranta so the muli does not shed water. I would love to hear more suggestions on how to make a more softer and even paranta (especailly a soft center).
