Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 180 milliliters Water
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat plain yogurt
• 0 Vegetable oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and carom seeds.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water, olive oil, and low-fat plain yogurt. Mix together until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more water or flour to achieve the right consistency.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each ball into a flat circle about 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with vegetable oil.

Step 8

Place one rolled-out parantha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubble starts to form on the surface. Flip the parantha.

Step 9

Lightly spray the top with vegetable oil and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, ensuring to re-spray the skillet as needed.

Step 11

Serve the low-fat paranthas hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
