The most important tip is to chop the onions very finely. Large onion pieces can make the paratha difficult to roll. Avoid adding too much salt to the filling because onions naturally release water after salt is added.

If the onion mixture becomes watery, add a little wheat flour to it and mix well. Always cook the paratha on medium heat so that it becomes crisp outside while remaining soft inside.
