Parathas recipe

Recipe for parathas in our easy curry recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

• 8 ounces chappati flour plus extra for dusting
• 4 fl. oz. water, approximately
• 6 tablespoons melted ghee

How to make parathas

• Make the dough as for chappatis and leave to rest for 15-30 minutes.
• Put the tava or cast-iron frying pan onto a medium heat. Meanwhile divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.
• Take one portion with floured hands and roll into a ball.
• Place the ball of dough into the flour and press flat, dusting on both sides.
• Roll out into a 6 inch round, and brush the surface with melted ghee.
• Now fold by taking opposite sides and folding until they meet in the middle. You should have a long rectangular shape.
• Brush the top surface again with melted ghee and fold, this time bringing in the ends of the rectangle to meet in the middle.
• Brush the dry surface for the final time with melted ghee and fold into half. You should have a square.
• Place this in the flour, press flat, and roll out into a 8 inch square.
• Pat between your hands and slap onto the hot tava. Cook for about 30 seconds whilst brushing the top surface with ghee. Turn over.
• Again brush the surface uppermost with the ghee and turn over, having given the second side 30 seconds.
• Continue to cook the first side for a further 30 seconds whilst brushing more melted ghee on the top surface.
• Turn over for the final time and cook for a further few seconds.
• Both sides should have reddish brown spots. The frequent turning over ensures even cooking.
• Put the paratha on a plate lined with a large piece of aluminium foil. Fold over the foil to keep the paratha warm while you make all the parathas in this way.
• Like chappatis, parathas are best eaten immediately but are quite good reheated.
