Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat plain yogurt
• 0.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for kneading and cooking)
• 0.25 cups Whole wheat flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the low-fat plain yogurt and mix it into the flour using your fingers or a spoon.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed.

Step 4

Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and knead the dough again for 1-2 minutes until it's elastic and not sticky.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and set them aside.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each ball out into a 6-8 inch round flatbread using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place one rolled paratha onto the skillet. When you see bubbles or light brown spots forming on the bottom (about 30-40 seconds), flip it over.

Step 10

Brush the top side with a very small amount of oil, flip again, and repeat on the other side, cooking until both sides have golden brown spots.

Step 11

Repeat the process for all the parathas.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite low-fat yogurt, pickle, or vegetable curry.
