Roll and flatten that dough ball on the rolling board and roll it like a chapati until it becomes 5 to 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin, but make sure your paratha thickness is more than chapati thickness.
Now put tawa on medium flame and grease the tawa with oil/ ghee before putting methi paratha on it otherwise methi paratha will stick to tawa.
