Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Clarified butter or more vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil to the flour and mix well using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add 0.75 cups of warm water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously, until a soft dough is formed. You may need a little more or less water, so add cautiously.
Step 4
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Try to keep the thickness even.
Step 8
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out parata on the pan.
Step 9
Cook for about 30 seconds until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then flip.
Step 10
Brush the top with clarified butter or vegetable oil and cook for another 30 seconds. Flip again and brush the other side with more butter or oil.
Step 11
Continue turning and pressing lightly with a spatula until both sides are cooked and have golden-brown spots, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
Step 12
Remove from the pan and keep warm under a cloth while repeating with the remaining dough balls.
Step 13
Serve hot with your favorite curry, chutney, or yogurt.
