Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 cup Warm Water
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Ghee or Melted Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the warm water, low-fat yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together using your hands to form a soft dough. Add more water if required, a little at a time.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle as thin as possible without tearing.

Step 7

Brush the surface of the rolled-out dough with a light layer of olive oil (use about 1 tablespoon in total for all portions).

Step 8

Fold the circles like a fan to form pleats, then wind them into a spiral, tucking the end under the bottom.

Step 9

Gently roll out each spiraled dough into a round, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a parotta on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 11

Lightly brush each cooked parotta with a thin layer of ghee or melted butter to enhance flavor, but skip if strictly low-fat is desired.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Serve warm with your favorite curry or enjoy them plain.
