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.

2

Mix all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl.

3

Add water and olive oil to the flour mixture, combining with hands until it forms a dough.

4

Cover the dough with a cloth or cling film to keep it moist and let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

5

Heat a medium warm pan and add a mix of ghee and regular butter for frying.

6

Tear the oyster mushrooms instead of cutting them to reduce water loss, then add them to the pan.

Add garlic to the mushrooms in the pan and cook on medium heat.

Turn off the heat and let the filling cool slightly before using it to fill the parathas.

Prepare the rested dough, ensuring it is still moist and workable.

16

Divide the dough into two equal portions for top and bottom layers.

17

Shape the dough into round balls for easy handling.

18

Place the filling in the center of one dough round and cover with the second round.

Fold the edges together to seal the filling inside, similar to making empanadas.
