I have used a combination of wheat and white flour, but you can use all white if needed. This is a fun kind of roll to make with kids. I had earlier posted crescent rolls and plain rolls.

I once ended with a ton of leftovers of dal makhani and did not want to freeze it. Was stumped for a while and parathas came to the rescue; the dal got transformed into something filling and tasty.
