Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 14 cup whole wheat flour (for dusting)
  • water
  • 1 12 tablespoons salt
  • ghee
  • 1 12 tablespoons red chili peppers
  • 1 12 tablespoons caraway seeds (ajwain)

Method

  • Knead the whole wheat flour and water together making a soft and pliable dough.
  • Heat a tawa or a flat pan.
  • Make small rounds(plum sized) of the prepared dough; dust it with flour and roll out into a small disc sized roti.
  • Apply about 1 tsp of ghee, sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of red chili powder, a pinch of caraway seeds (per parantha).
  • Using your fingers, spread out the seasoning mixing well.
  • Fold the parantha in a semi circle.
  • Now fold once again joining the the two opposite sides together to get a triangular shape.
  • Dust with flour and roll out in a triangular shape (Don't worry it will not be so accurately shaped but will resemble a triangle lol).
  • Very carefully lift the parantha and place it on the hot tawa or pan.
  • Wait for 8 seconds; now flip to the other side.
  • The flame should be medium to high.
  • Wait for another 6 seconds and flip to the previous side (the cooked side).
  • Apply about a tablespoon of oil and flip again.
  • Roast the other side also by applying oil and flipping again.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Serve hot with any pickle of your choice.
