Easy Paratha

I feel very bad for missing the delicious tiffin item paratha or parotta in India. This managed to compensate the taste. Thanks to Kamala Aunty in Melbourne. She taught me this. Its very easy to make.. here goes the paratha..

Ingredients:

Maida or Plain Flour or Self raising flour - 2 cups

Instead we can use wheat flour too for this paratha. Believe me! it tastes delicious

Salt, Water, Ghee or butter

Method:

Mix the flour with salt.
Add warm water to it and mix well.
Knead well the dough
The consistency should be same as for chapati
After kneading the dough well, add 2 spoons of ghee or butter to it knead again
keep it aside

leave it for atleast 2 hours. 4 hours will be fine enough

Paratha:

Form equal sized balls from the dough
Roll it using the rolling pin as we do for chapati.(round sized)
The thickness of the paratha should be less
Spread ghee or butter on the rolled paratha and fold into half
It should look like a semi circle.
Apply ghee again on it and fold into half
It forms like a sector or triangle.

Flat the folded piece using the rolling pin.

Heat the tawa or dosa kal and Cook paratha just like chapati. when it is half cooked, apply ghee on both sides. Tastes good with vegetable kuruma or chicken salna :)
