- 4 cups Wheat
flour
- 3 tablespoons
Melted butter
- 1 teaspoon
Salt
- 1 1/4th cup
Water
- Oil for
basting the paratha
- All purpose
flour for rolling
1. Add the
melted butter to the wheat flour. Make a well in the center and add the
water. Knead well to make a medium soft dough. Keep kneading, go ahead
use that elbow grease, for about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside for 20
minutes.
2. Divide
into equal balls about 2" in diameter. Roll out each ball
approximately 4" in diameter, smear oil and dust with all purpose
flour. Fold into half, so it looks like a "D". Again smear oil
on the "D" and dust with all purpose flour.
3. Fold
again and it will look like a triangle. Roll out the triangular shape
till it is 1/8th inch thick.
4. Cook it
on one side, on a" tava" or griddle, for 30 seconds and turn
over. Smear oil over the top of the side that has been cooked first. Fry
both the sides till golden brown and crisp on a slow medium flame.
5. Serve
hot. To keep warm keep in a recloseable tin lined with paper towels to
absorb the moisture. When eaten hot off the pan it is mouth watering
good.
