• Cut equidistant strips of the rectangular flatbreads.Remove the strips of top colour. Put one horizontal strip of green colour on the vertical strips of pink colour.
• Place one end of the horizontal strip under the first vertical strip and apply water on it so that they stick.
• Now push the horizontal strip under the third and fifth vertical strip and stick using water. The first row gets completed this way.
• For the second row, stick the horizontal green strip on the first pink strip hugging the top row so that there are no gaps. Now over turn the 2nd, 4th and 6th red strip (alternate strips).

Note::

• Try to make this paratha bit spicy and tangy else it will taste like a normal paratha only.
• If serving to kids , adjust the spiciness accordingly.
• Try to stick both color dough properly while rolling, else the color square will comeout at time of roasting.
• If you store the dough, colour may be changed .
