Place flour and oil in a bowl. Season with salt. Add water little by little and knead to make soft dough. Cover tightly. Leave to rest for an hour.

Make small lemon sized balls out of the dough. Apply a little oil on the balls and flatten them slightly. Roll out as thin as possible. Apply more oil on the rolled out dough. Starting from one end, make small pleats, and then roll into circles. Apply more oil and roll out again.

Meanwhile place a tawa or pan over medium- high heat. Place rolled out dough, one at a time, on the pan. When one side is golden, flip it over to cook the other side. Add more oil to the parathas while cooking. Continue with the rest of the dough. Serve warm.
