Paratha

Cultural Context

Paratha, a staple of Indian cuisine, originates from the Indian subcontinent and has been a beloved flatbread for centuries. Traditionally made with whole wheat flour, it's often stuffed with a variety of fillings, from spiced potatoes to paneer, making it a versatile dish. Parathas are commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a side dish, and their popularity has led to numerous regional variations across India and beyond, adapting to local tastes and ingredients.

Add salt to the flour according to taste.

4

Mix 2 tablespoons of warm water with 1 tablespoon of sugar until dissolved.

5

Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the mixture and mix well.

6

Gradually add warm water to knead the dough until soft, similar to making roti dough.

7

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Grease the rolled dough with the prepared oil and flour paste to create layers.

13

Fold the dough and press it down before rolling it out again into a square shape.

Dust with dry flour before stacking the rolled parathas on top of each other to prevent sticking.
