Prep time: 5 Minutes Cooking time: 30 Minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
3 Cups Wheat Flour
4 tbsp Oil
½ tsp Black Pepper
¼ tsp Salt
Lukewarm Water
Ghee-oil for frying*
Method:
Add the flour, salt, black pepper, and oil to a bowl and mix well until the oil is combined with the flour.
Slowly pour in lukewarm water and knead well until the dough is soft; if you need more water, use ¼ of a cup. The dough should be smooth and firm.
Rest the dough for 20-30 minutes. Divide the dough into half and roll out into a 12-inch round shape.
Spread butter lightly, sprinkle with flour, roll into a snake shape, and cut into 1-inch balls, as in the picture below.
Do the same thing with the second half of the dough.
Roll out the parathas with a rolling pin about a 7-inch circle.
Heat a tawa pan on a high-medium flame. Place the paratha on the pan. After a few seconds, you will notice small air pockets popping out.
Flip and drizzle one tablespoon of ghee-oil around the paratha. Cook for a minute or so, ensuring the ghee-oil is spread on top of the paratha.
Flip the paratha on the other side and cook for a minute until you see some brown spots, as in the picture below.
Serve hot with tea and athanu or curry!
NB:
* To make Ghee-oil use ½ cup of oil with ⅛ cup of Ghee (Clarified Butter).
