Ingredients:
for parantha |
2 cups whole wheat flour/atta |
1/4 cup besan/chickpea flour |
2 tsps oil |
1/4 tsp salt |
1 cup packed fresh methi leaves, add water, pinch of salt and sugar and leave aside for 15 mts, squeeze out water |
water to knead the dough |
1 tsp ginger-green chilli-lemon juice paste |
large pinch red chilli pwd |
1/4 tsp saunf pwd |
1/2 tsp coriander pwd |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. 1 Add all the ingredients mentioned above (except water) in a large bowl and combine well. Slowly add water to form a soft yet slightly firm dough. Let it rest for 15 mts.
2. 2 Pinch a large lemon sized ball of dough, dust the surface to roll out the roti. Roll out the stuffed dough to form a 7″-8″ diameter circle.
3. 3 Heat a iron tawa and once its hot, place the rolled out paratha and let it cook for a little less than 20 secs. Flip the parantha and let it cook for a little less than 20 secs. Once light browned spots appear, drizzle some oil or ghee and roast to a golden shade on both sides. Use a spatula to press the puffed areas as the paratha gets roasted.
4. 4 Serve hot with any curry of your choice or yogurt or raita.
5. Note:
6. I lightly sauteed half of the methi leaves in a tsp of oil and added to the rest of the ingredients before preparing dough. You can add ajwain or cumin seeds also. About 1/4 tsp will do.
