Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Additional vegetable oil for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
Step 2
Add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture, stirring to distribute evenly until a crumbly texture forms.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, little by little, kneading to form a soft and smooth dough. This may take around 5-7 minutes of kneading by hand.
Step 4
Once the dough is formed, cover it with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for at least 15-20 minutes. This helps the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Step 5
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into small balls.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Brush the surface of each rolled-out dough circle lightly with vegetable oil, then fold it in half to form a semi-circle. Brush again with oil and fold once more to create a triangle shape.
Step 8
Roll each folded triangle gently to flatten it slightly, creating a layered effect.
Step 9
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place a rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear on the bottom.
Step 10
Flip the paratha and drizzle a small amount of additional vegetable oil (about 1 teaspoon) around the edges and on the top side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until this side is golden and crispy.
Step 11
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough portions.
Step 12
Serve the dairy-free roti parathas hot, paired with your favorite curry or side dish.
