Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
- 0.25 cup Extra whole wheat flour (for rolling)
- 3 tablespoons Neutral oil or dairy-free butter substitute (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Gradually add the water while mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon to form a soft dough. Adjust the water quantity slightly if needed. The dough should not be sticky or too stiff.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with extra whole wheat flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle about 6-8 inches in diameter. Repeat for all dough balls.
Heat a skillet or flat griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out paratha on the skillet.
Cook for 1 minute or until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the paratha and brush it lightly with neutral oil or a dairy-free butter substitute. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Flip again and brush the second side lightly with oil or dairy-free butter substitute. Press gently with a spatula to cook evenly.
Remove the cooked paratha and keep it warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm with your favorite dairy-free accompaniments like chutney, curry, or vegan yogurt.
