PLAIN PARATHA

PLAIN PARATHA



Paratha is made from wheat atta and using a little more ghee than for the ordinary rotis. Parathas can be made in different ways and with different ingredients. One of them is the plain paratha and is explained below.
Ingredients:
atta(wheat flour)-2 cups,
salt- a pinch and
Ghee/vanaspati-as required.

Method:
Knead the atta with salt and just enough quantity of water to make a soft dough.
Apply little ghee and keep aside for 30 mts.
Make small balls out of it.
Make roti out of each ball.
Apply ghee on it and fold it to make a triangular shape. Roll it again(It will be a triangular shaped chappathi).
Heat the chappathi tawa on a medium flame and put the chappathi over it.
Fry a little. Turn it to the other side. Fry again a little.
Turn again and apply little ghee on one side.Turn the side and apply ghee again.
Press it lightly with the laddle to see that the paratha is cooked uniformly. Fry both sides like this.
Continue the process with rest of  the balls.
These parathas can be served with a curry, either dry or with gravy.
