Corn meal paratha or makai paratha is made out of corn meal or maize flour. There is a difference between corn flour and corn meal. corn flour looks white and is very fine powder which is a thickening agent whereas corn meal looks yellow, slightly rava consistency and is used for making corn meal dosa, corn meal adai, corn meal idli, makai ki roti, paratha etc.
After making the makai ki roti, there was left over dough with me so I decided to make paratha out of it. It was quite tasty along with the Maa ki daal. I chose to have this because once I had eaten this combination in one of the Punjabi restaurant.
