1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons oil -- plus 1 tablespoon
1/2 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon ghee
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons warm water
Mix 1/2 tablespoon oil, salt and wheat flour, adding a little bit of
water gradually, to make a soft dough. Knead dough for 2-3 minutes.
Divide into 8 portions. Take one portion and put on a lightly floured
surface, roll out into a 1" circle, spread ghee and flour on top,
fold into a half circle. Spread ghee and flour again, and fold into
triangle. Roll it out approximately 4 " to make a larger triangle.
Heat a heavy-based skillet to medium heat. Place paratha on skillet.
After 10 seconds, turn it over. Spread oil over the paratha. Turn it
over again, and spread oil on top. Paratha should be pinkish on both
sides. Continue with other 7 parathas. Serve warm.
