The famous paratha is two and a half feet by two and a half feet in size. It is made with a 700-gram dough that is then mixed with 100-gram dalda and some salt. The cook skillfully kneads the maida dough and spreads it thinly over a wooden rolling board. To avoid the paratha from breaking or getting air pockets small holes are made into the dough and then it is lightly fried in oil for two minutes. Soon a thin and crispy paratha is prepared. It is awe-inspiring to watch experienced cooks masterfully make the dish.

The video, that has been doing rounds on social media, is soliciting extreme reactions from people. While some are thrilled by the prospect of trying this interesting dish, others have expressed concern over hygiene issues. “It’s definitely big!”, commented one user, while another said, “Hygiene left the chat”.
