Yes, it might be delicious, but the writer forgot to say how many calories per parantha, and how many he/she recommends one should eat at one meal. By the way, ghee/oil do not mix with water. Please do not make a mess of the dough. It is recommended that dough should be made with water, and once made, add ghee in the dough to your delight. The rest of the procedure is fine. But, please do warn the readers about the fat content; it is directly related to potential heart problems.
