Paratha
Description
This Paratha recipe begins by mixing wheat flour, salt, and cooking oil with water to form a soft dough, which rests briefly before kneading. Small dough balls are rolled out thinly, and cooked on a medium-heat non-stick pan until opaque before flipping. Ghee is applied multiple times during cooking, creating layers and a crisp, golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside tender.
The process of flipping and brushing with ghee ensures a flaky, layered texture characteristic of paratha. The bread can accompany curries or be enjoyed with yogurt or pickles as part of a meal.
Although nutritional details are provided as a courtesy, the recipe focuses on traditional preparation techniques for this versatile flatbread.
