Serves: 4 parathas
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Lots of oil from aam ka achaar (oil from mango pickle) (You can find mango pickle in any Indian store or even stores like Walmart sometimes)
  • Oil for cooking
Instructions
  1. In a bowl mix both flours and salt. Add ¼ cup water and start kneading. Keep adding 1 tbsp of water at a time and knead until you have a soft dough. Knead for a minute or two more. Keep it covered with a wet paper towel.
  2. Now break the dough into 4 equal pieces. Generously flour your working surface. Place one ball of dough and sprinkle some flour on top. Roll it into as thin a circle you can roll it into. You will need to keep it well floured so it doesn't stick to the surface or your rolling pin.
  3. Once it's as thin as you can get spread oil mix from mango pickle all over it. Now starting from the side towards you, start folding it just like you would for a hand fan that is one thin layer on top of other and so on.
  4. For reference check the step-by-step pictures above!
  5. Now roll into into a tight circle and roll it into a medium thickness round. Repeat with the other 3 dough balls in the same way.
  6. Now heat a skillet. Coat it with some oil. Once hot, place one of the rolled out paratha and cook on medium-high heat for a minute. Rub oil on the top and flip. Cook for another minute and roll oil on the layer that's on top now. Flip and cook by flipping 2-3 times more until nice & golden.
  7. Serve with plain chilled yogurt or curries.
