Steps
- 1
In a mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour, salt and knead it using water little at a time
- 2
Knead the dough well for a few minutes till it is soft, smooth and pliable.
Rest the dough covered under a samp cloth for about 20 to 30 minutes. - 3
After 30 minutes, knead the dough again a few times. Divide into balls.
Dust each ball with more flour and gently roll it with a rolling pin to as thin a disc as possible. - 4
This ensures you get more pleats (lachcha) and hence more layers in the paratha!!
- 5
Melt ghee in a small bowl.
Apply the melted ghee generously over the rolled dough and spread evenly over the rolled disc.
Sprinkle dry flour over the ghee and spread again. - 6
Now start making pleats of the dough (like a paper fan), making them as thin as possible, to get more pleats; more pleats, more layers/laccha in the parathas.
- 7
Make pleats of the whole rolled dough and lightly grease the top with more ghee and dust with additional flour.
- 8
Once you have made all the pleats, make a pinwheel with the pleated dough.
Now roll the pleated dough tightly like a pinwheel, tucking the end into the center of the roll. - 9
Now, heat a flat tawa. Take one swiss roll of paratha dough, flatten slightly with your hands.
Dust generously with dry flour and start rolling again to a flat disc. Roll it to about 6 to 7 inches diameter or the desired size you want. - 10
Place the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa. Cook till the bottom cooks a little and you see blisters on the top.
- 11
Flip the paratha and cook the other side again, drizzling some ghee around the sides and top of the paratha. Keep flipping to cook both sides well.
- 12
Once done take it out in a plate and enjoy with pickle, curd or any curry.
