Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 piece Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, chopped green chili, chopped cilantro, and cumin seeds.
Step 2
Add water gradually to the dry mixture, mixing it with your hands to form a dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Flatten a dough ball slightly, sprinkle with a bit of flour, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a circle of about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the rolled-out circle onto the skillet.
Step 7
Cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip the parantha.
Step 8
Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil around the edges of the parantha. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 9
Once the parantha is cooked, spread a small amount of vegan butter on top while still warm. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 10
Serve the vegan parantha hot with your choice of vegan yogurt or pickle.
