Discover the ultimate plant-based delight with this Vegan Roti Paratha recipe—perfectly flaky, layered flatbread that’s easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious. Made with whole wheat flour, olive oil, and a touch of extra virgin coconut oil, this vegan twist on the traditional roti paratha delivers rich flavor and a satisfying texture without any dairy. Resting the simple dough allows it to become soft and pliable, while the unique folding technique creates those signature layers. Pan-fried to golden perfection, this paratha pairs beautifully with vegan curries, chutneys, or can be savored on its own. Ready in just 35 minutes, this recipe is perfect for a quick, wholesome meal that’s brimming with authentic Indian-inspired goodness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mix, and gradually incorporate the water, kneading into a soft and pliable dough. Add extra water if needed to achieve the right consistency.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Spread a teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil over the surface of each rolled dough circle. Fold it in half, then fold again to form a triangle. Flatten slightly.
Roll the triangular dough piece again into a slightly thick flat circle.
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on it.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip it.
Brush the top with a little more coconut oil and cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm with your favorite vegan curry, chutney, or enjoy it on its own.
