Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plain flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour atta
  • 2 tablespoon oil or ghee
  • Salt to taste
  • Lukewarm water to knead dough

Instructions

  • Place all-purpose and atta in a large bowl. Add oil. Season with salt. Add water, little by little, and make soft dough. Divide dough into 7 equal parts, and roll them into balls.
  • Place a ball on a floured surface, and roll out into a circle. Spread a little oil or ghee on top. Sprinkle with flour (atta). Starting from one end, fold it to form pleats. Now roll it again like Swiss roll.
  • Press it down slightly with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle with more flour (atta). Roll it out again.
  • Place the paratha on a tawa over medium heat. When you see bubbles, flip it over, spread a little ghee on top, and allow to cook. Flip it again, spread a little ghee on top, and cook again until both sides are golden. Remove from heat.
  • Continue with the rest of the parathas.

Notes

- If you want to make whole wheat parathas, substitute all purpose (plain) flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour (atta).
- Adding ghee instead of oil adds more flavor to the parathas.
