"This parantha is a staple at my house when nothing pleasing is cooked. This parantha is prepared quickly and relished by my entire family. It goes really well with any pickle of your choice--we like it with mango pickle !!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour (for dusting)
• water
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons salt
• ghee
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons red chili peppers
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons caraway seeds (ajwain)

directions

1. Knead the whole wheat flour and water together making a soft and pliable dough.
2. Heat a tawa or a flat pan.
3. Make small rounds(plum sized) of the prepared dough; dust it with flour and roll out into a small disc sized roti. Apply about 1 tsp of ghee, sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of red chili powder, a pinch of caraway seeds (per parantha). Using your fingers, spread out the seasoning mixing well.
4. Fold the parantha in a semi circle. Now fold once again joining the the two opposite sides together to get a triangular shape. Dust with flour and roll out in a triangular shape (Don't worry it will not be so accurately shaped but will resemble a triangle lol).
5. Very carefully lift the parantha and place it on the hot tawa or pan.
6. Wait for 8 seconds; now flip to the other side. The flame should be medium to high.
7. Wait for another 6 seconds and flip to the previous side (the cooked side). Apply about a tablespoon of oil and flip again. Roast the other side also by applying oil and flipping again.
8. Transfer to a plate.
9. Serve hot with any pickle of your choice.
