Paratha
Ingredients
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1 tbsp ghee as required for folding
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt as required
- 1 tsp jeera
- 3/4 to 1 cup water adjust according to consistency
Instructions
- Take all the ingredients in a dry bowl except water and mix well. Then add water to make a smooth pliable dough. Keep aside for 30mins – 1 hour.
- Knead it once and roll into lemon sized balls, I got 7 balls.
- Using a chapathi roller roll out to a thin circle then add few drops of ghee and spread over evenly.
- Then fold to a semicircle, apply and spread ghee evenly. Then fold it again to form a triangle.
- Roll it to a thin roti or to desired thickeness, dust flour if it sticks.
- Heat tawa and add the roti carefully.
- Once bubbles starts appearing turn to other side. Cook on both sides till brown spots starts appearing.
- Serve Paratha with any gravy, pickle of your choice or with onion raita or just plain curd.
Notes
- While folding you can even skip the ghee for each layer and add oil/ghee while toasting I did not add oil while toasting, if you want you can add it.
- This type of layered paratha stays softer for a longer time.
- You can also add omam(ajwain) replacing jeera but personally I like jeera so have given that here.
