Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix atta with ghee and salt. Sprinkle water and knead well to make a non sticky dough. Set aside for 1 hour.
  • Knead again and make 6 balls, the size of an onion. Roll out each to a diameter of 8".
  • Spread 1 tsp softened ghee all over. Sprinkle some dry atta on the ghee.
  • Pleat the chapati length wise into a collected strip.
  • Twist this strip.
  • Coll the strip to get a pedha ( round flattened ball)
  • Flatten this ball between the palms of the hands or gently roll on the rolling board with the rolling pin without applying too much pressure, to a small thick paranthaof about 6" diameter.
  • To cook on a tawa first make both the sides light brown on a hot tawa Reduce flame and then using ghee fry till rich brown on both sides on low heat. Press the sides and all over the parantha with a spoon while frying to ensure that it gets cooked since the parantha is a little thick.
  • Remove from the tawa on to a clean kitchen napkin and press the hot parantha on the cloth from all sides for the layer to open up and turn flaky. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of red chilli powder.
  • Serve hot.
