#paratha - This Zaatar Paratha is just as yummy as any other stuffed parathas. Zaatar is a Mediterranean spice of sesame seeds and thyme that is very much used in Middle Eastern cuisine as a meat marination or as a spread on breads. This fusion version of mine can be best enjoyed with yoghurt, butter or some pickle.

Steps

1

Mix together the zaatar spice with oil into a paste and keep aside. Knead the atta along with the salt, 1 tbsp. oil and enough water into a stiff dough. Keep aside for 20 minutes.
2

Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle just like a chapatti. Spread a little of the zaatar spice mix and fold into half.
3

Spread again some of the spice paste and again fold into a triangle. Roll out into a paratha and keep aside.
4

Make similar parathas out of the dough and the zaatar spice. Heat a tawa and fry one paratha at a time with 1 tbsp. of oil till light brown on both sides. Serve hot with butter, yoghurt or pickle.
