   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the maida (all-purpose flour), salt, and 2 tbsp of oil.
   • Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Chana Dal:

   • Rinse the chana dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 6 hours.
   • After soaking, drain the water and transfer the dal to a pressure cooker.
   • Add a glassful of water to the pressure cooker and cook until you hear one whistle.
   • Turn off the gas and allow the pressure to release naturally.

3. Grind the Dal:

   • Once the dal is cooked and cooled down, drain any excess water.
   • Grind the dal into a coarse paste using a grinder or food processor.

4. Prepare the Filling:

   • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a kadahi (wok) over medium heat.
   • Add the ground dal paste and roast it for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously.
   • Sprinkle in the red chili pepper, garam masala, and any additional masala powder of your choice.

5. Assemble the Parathas:

   • Allow the dal mixture to cool down to room temperature.
   • Divide the prepared dough into small balls.
   • Flatten each dough ball into a small disc and place a spoonful of the dal filling in the center.
   • Fold the edges of the dough to enclose the filling and roll it out into thin parathas.

6. Cook the Parathas:

   • Heat a tawa (griddle) or skillet over medium heat.
   • Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides, flipping as needed.
   • Brush with oil or ghee as desired during cooking for added crispiness.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the Bikaneri Parathas hot with Aloo Dum Masala, fresh Raita, and your favorite Chutney for a delicious and satisfying meal experience!

Tips:

• To achieve the perfect thinness, roll out the parathas as thinly as possible, resembling the texture of a papad.
• For best results, prepare the parathas an hour before serving to ensure they stay soft and fresh.
• Customize the spice level according to your taste preferences by adjusting the amount of red chili pepper and garam masala.
• Experiment with different fillings such as paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or mixed vegetables for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
