Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat yogurt
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil (optional, for dough)
• 0 as needed Oil spray or minimal oil (for cooking)
• 0.25 cups Whole wheat flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the low-fat yogurt to the flour mixture and mix well using your hands.

Step 3

Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, and knead into a soft and pliable dough. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour, and if it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water.

Step 4

Optionally, add a teaspoon of olive oil to the dough to keep it soft. Knead for 5-6 minutes until smooth.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle some whole wheat flour on a clean surface and roll each dough ball into a thin, round circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter).

Step 8

Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.

Step 9

Place a rolled-out paratha on the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until bubbles start to appear. Flip to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 10

Lightly spray or brush the cooked side with oil or use a minimal amount of oil, then flip again. Press gently with a spatula for even cooking, and cook for 30-40 seconds until golden brown spots appear.

Step 11

Repeat the process for the other side, then remove the paratha from the skillet.

Step 12

Continue cooking all parathas, stacking them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.

Step 13

Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or a curry of your choice.
