Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 quarters cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Ghee (or vegan butter for dairy-free)
• 2 tablespoons Oil for cooking
• 1 cup Optional fillings (mashed potatoes, grated paneer, spiced vegetables)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. Adjust water quantity as needed to ensure the dough is pliable but not sticky.

Step 3

Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

If using a filling, flatten one dough ball, place 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center, and carefully fold the edges over the filling to seal it. Gently roll it out into a disc about 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin. Use additional gluten-free flour to prevent sticking, if necessary.

Step 6

If not using a filling, roll out each dough ball into a 6-inch disc directly.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat, and add a small amount of oil or ghee to grease the surface.

Step 8

Place the rolled-out paratha onto the skillet, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on one side until small bubbles or golden spots appear. Flip the paratha, add a little more oil or ghee, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the paratha from the skillet and keep it warm under a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining parathas.

Step 10

Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or curry as a side.
