Expert Tips
- It's better to use corn kernels that have already been defrosted or better and faster cooking.
- Make sure that the dough you use is made with refined flour and not wheat as wheat tends to be less elastic.
- Make sure to fry the paratha from the edges to achieve a more crispier pocket overall.
