Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Water (warm)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour, a little at a time, and knead it into a soft, pliable dough. Depending on the humidity and the flour, you may need slightly more or less water.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil to the dough and knead for 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into smooth balls.
Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Take one dough ball and roll it into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Brush a small amount of vegetable oil onto the surface of the rolled-out dough. Fold it in half to form a semicircle, then brush oil on the semicircle and fold it again to form a quarter-circle. Roll it out gently into a triangular shape, about 6 inches wide.
Heat a skillet or flat griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha onto the skillet.
Cook for about 30 seconds, then flip. Brush the top side lightly with oil, and after another 30 seconds, flip again and brush the other side with oil.
Cook each side for 1-2 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
Repeat this process for the remaining dough portions.
Serve warm with vegan curry, chutney, or enjoy as-is!
