Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt (unsalted, optional for softness)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional for flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander (optional for flavor)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, optional ground cumin, and ground coriander.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt (if using) and mix it into the flour using your hands or a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, while kneading the dough. Continue kneading until a smooth and soft dough forms, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough and knead for another 1 minute until the oil is incorporated.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Dust your rolling surface with a little flour and roll each dough ball into a thin circular disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled-out paratha onto the hot skillet.

Step 9

Cook the paratha for 30-45 seconds, then flip it over. Brush a small amount of olive oil on the cooked side (about 1/4 teaspoon). Flip it again and brush oil on the other side.

Step 10

Continue flipping and pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown spots appear and the paratha is fully cooked. This should take about 1-2 minutes total per paratha.

Step 11

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining parathas.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium side dishes or enjoy as is!
