Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups water
- 3 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
- 0.25 cups extra whole wheat flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while kneading the dough. Start with 1/2 cup water and add more one tablespoon at a time as needed to form a soft, pliable dough.
Step 3
Once the dough comes together, knead it for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal balls, using your hands to roll them into smooth, round shapes.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.
Step 7
On a flat surface dusted with a small amount of whole wheat flour, roll out one dough ball into a thin circle roughly 6 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Brush a thin layer of oil over the surface of the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough in half, then brush another thin layer of oil on top. Fold the dough again to form a triangular or square shape.
Step 9
Roll out the folded dough gently to flatten it and achieve your desired thickness.
Step 10
Place the rolled paratha onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side or until you see bubbles and light golden spots. Flip the paratha.
Step 11
Brush a small amount of oil on the cooked side, then flip it again. Brush oil on the other side, and continue cooking until golden spots appear on both sides and the paratha is fully cooked.
Step 12
Remove the cooked paratha from the skillet and repeat steps 7-11 with the remaining dough balls.
Step 13
Serve the parathas warm with your choice of accompaniments, such as a curry or vegan raita.
