Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands, to form a soft and pliable dough.
Step 2
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Drizzle the dough with 2 tablespoons of oil and knead again briefly to incorporate it.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
On a floured surface, take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out dough onto the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the parantha for about 1 minute or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip the parantha over using a spatula.
Step 8
Drizzle a little vegetable oil around the edges of the parantha and cook for another minute or until the bottom is golden brown.
Step 9
Flip the parantha again, apply a little more oil, and cook until both sides are golden and the parantha is fully cooked through.
Step 10
Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve warm with your choice of dairy-free sides like pickle or chutney.
