Plain Paratha - Daily Indian Flat bread

This "plain paratha" is an advanced version of Chapati :-) I first tasted this dish at my in-laws place Kanpur and I liked it so much that I usually prepare paratha for dinner instead of chapati.

Ingredients:-

Aatta / Chapathi dough
Oil - As required

If you are a beginner in cooking then read my post How to Knead aatta to prepare perfect dough. Once you prepare the dough then prepare small balls of the dough and keep it aside.

Roll the paratha into a disk of 3-4 diameter. Apply oil in half of the disk and fold the paratha as shown in the picture. Now apply again on the half portion and fold again to half to make it a triangular shape.

Now sprinkle some wheat flour on the double folded dough and roll into a triangular or square shaped parathas.

Heat a pan and keep this paratha on the tava. Cook both sides and apply oil on both sides. Once the paratha is done then remove it from tava.

Serve hot with any sabji of your choice.


Tips:-
If you use more oil then the paratha's will come out very soft.
You can replace oil with ghee for better taste. But If you are health conscious then I recommend you to use only refined oil.
