It is a flat bread that is made from atta also known as wholewheat flour and using water a dough is made that is rolled out and fried on a tawa also known as a griddle. The paratha is layered by rolling, folding and rolling again and then basted with ghee during cooking until turn golden brown.
MAKE A VARIETY OF PARATHAS WHERE THE STUFFING INSIDE CHANGES, USE WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR TO MAKE THE DOUGH AND ADDING SALT, OIL IS OPTIONAL.
MAKE TASTY SPINACH PARATHA BY ADDING IN THE WHEAT FLOUR, SPINACH PUREE THAT IS GROUND IN THE MIXER JAR ALONG WITH GREEN CHILLY AND A PIECE GINGER. ADDING SALT AND MASALAS TO TASTE.
ANOTHER VARIATION COULD BE ONION PARATHA, USING VERY FINELY CUT ONION WITH GREEN CHILLY AND SALT PLUS RED CHILLY POWDER AS STUFFING.
TIP FOR THE DAY:
USE LEFT OVER COOKED RICE TO MAKE AMAZING FILLING FOR PARATHA. JUST MASH THE COOKED RICE AND ADD SALT + RED CHILLY POWDER, A SUPERB STUFFING IS READY..
. You can add millet or Bengal gram flour to make the dough. You can also add methi to the dough. Mixing the dough with yogurt instead of water also makes a nice change. As suggested by Mina Joshi..
