http://www.ifood.tv/node/385 Roti video will give you idea of dough making. Only difference is that you can add oil/ghee in the dough for paratha. Also paratha are generally rolled in layers with estra oil/butter/ghee between layers. Roti --> Better for health Paratha --> Better for taste. Enjoy

Ok let me try to answer these while India Grill is busy doing business. The dough should be hard but malleable. If it is too soft it will become a mess try to make rounds of it. It is too hard it will be hard to roll it. It also depends upon your rolling style. Some people keep it slightly on soft side and add extra surface flour while rolling others keep it extra hard. The dough ball size also depends upon your preference but it should be slightly larger than ping pong ball (think 4 balls in a tennis ball). The video will be a big help for this. That is why all community members are encouraged to add video. Your video does not have to be fancy. It can be simply video camera clip of essential steps. I will try to post a video.

Thanks, master2006. I saw a video about how to make roti, and the process of making and working with the dough looked very similar to your instructions. I wonder if roti dough and paratha dough are the same. I once tried to make chapati, but it ended up being really hard and almost impossible to eat; I think the dough was too dry, if I remember correctly. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

You say "and required amount of water."  How much does "required" mean?  I'd love to make this, but this recipe needs more elaboration.  How high should the heat be?  For how long do I knead the dough?  How big should I make the dough balls?
