Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek leaves, dried (kasuri methi)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, freshly ground black pepper, carom seeds, ground cumin, and fenugreek leaves.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust the water quantity if necessary.
Once the dough is ready, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each dough ball into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a few drops of olive oil and place a rolled paratha on it.
Cook the paratha for about 1-2 minutes or until you see bubbles forming. Flip it over and apply a few more drops of olive oil.
Press lightly with a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the low sodium parathas warm with yogurt, a low-sodium chutney, or as an accompaniment to your favorite low-sodium curry.
