Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free atta flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter) or any cooking oil
- as needed Flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free atta flour and salt.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, mixing with your hands as you go, until the dough comes together. It should be pliable but not sticky.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a few more drops of water.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean, flat surface with some gluten-free flour and roll out one ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of ghee or oil.
Place the rolled paratha onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the paratha and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula for even cooking. Apply a bit more ghee or oil as needed.
Repeat the rolling and cooking steps with the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with accompaniments of your choice like curries, pickle, or yogurt.
