Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ghee
- ¾ cup water
- Additional flour for dusting
- Ghee or oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine
the whole wheat flour and salt.
2. Add the ghee to the mixture and
mix it in with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Slowly add the water, a little at
a time, and knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth and elastic.
You may not need to use all the water.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth
and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, divide the
dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).
6. Heat a griddle or a frying pan
over medium-high heat.
7. Take one of the dough balls and
dust it with flour. Roll it out into a flat, round disc about 6-7 inches in
diameter.
8. Spread a little bit of ghee or
oil over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
9. Fold the dough in half and spread
a little more ghee or oil on the surface.
10.
Fold the
dough in half again to form a triangle.
11.
Roll out
the dough into a triangle shape, making sure it is evenly thick and not too
thin.
12.
Place the
paratha on the hot griddle or frying pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until
small bubbles start to appear on the surface.
13.
Flip the
paratha over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes or until golden
brown spots appear on the surface.
14.
Remove
the paratha from the griddle or frying pan and place it on a plate lined with a
paper towel to absorb any excess oil or ghee.
15.
Repeat
the process with the remaining dough balls.
16.
Serve the
parathas hot with your favorite curry or chutney, or enjoy them as a delicious
snack with some plain yogurt or pickle.
