Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Neutral vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine
• 0.5 cups Additional whole wheat flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft, pliable dough.

Step 2

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil during kneading to prevent sticking. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball slightly into a disc shape.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and rolling pin. Roll out one dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Brush a thin layer of vegan butter or margarine over the surface of the rolled dough. Fold the dough in half, brush with butter again, then fold into a quarter shape to form a triangle. Roll out the triangle gently to flatten it again.

Step 6

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled triangle onto the hot skillet.

Step 7

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until dark spots appear, then flip it over. Brush the cooked side with a little oil or vegan butter, then cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the paratha one more time, brush the surface again, and cook for a final 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown and flaky.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve warm with chutney, curry, or your favorite vegan dishes.
