Here e have yet another variety of Varkhi Paratha , I am noting down the different varieties and then want to see which one tastes the best !
Good job on the parathas where we can see different layers so beautifully .
Your varki paratha has turned out beautiful Preeti. Those flaky layers visible are to die for. This would be such a great meal with a spicy curry.
A nice flaky paratha Preeti..I too was going to make it but decided against it as hubby and I had enough of ghee or oil rich flatbreads. Will make it for breakfast one day as hubby loves them.
Yummy looking flaky parathas. Definitely would be good with a delicious curry.

The layered paratha has come out so well. Will use your idea of using rice flour between layers to get the layered Flaky parathas.
Wow! Look at those layers. They look amazing and the rice flour layer is a great idea to keep the layers in place.
