Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., sunflower or avocado)
- 0.25 cups Extra whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or oil (for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Step 2
Slowly add 0.75 cups of water, a little at a time, while kneading the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be sticky; adjust water or flour as needed.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil to the dough and knead for an additional 3-4 minutes until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 5
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Dust your work surface with a small amount of the extra whole wheat flour. Roll out one dough ball into a thin circle, around 6-7 inches in diameter. Keep the remaining dough balls covered to prevent drying out.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha onto the hot skillet.
Step 8
After 30-40 seconds, flip the paratha. Lightly brush the top with vegan butter or oil as it cooks. Cook for another 30-40 seconds, then flip again and brush the other side with vegan butter or oil.
Step 9
Continue flipping and cooking for about 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown and evenly cooked, with light puffing or small brown spots.
Step 10
Remove the paratha from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm while you repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve the vegan whole wheat parathas warm with your favorite curry, chutney, or as a side to any meal.
