Wheat Parota

Wheat Parota 

Parota is one of the most popular dishes served in most of the restaurants. 

Usually, parota is made out of maida but i always prefer a healthy option. Here, i have used wheat flour instead of maida( all purpose flour). 

Preparation is quite simple & easy. All you need is a chapathi dough & little ghee. 

This flaky parota tastes awesome with any meat or fish curries or any special vegetable curry too. 

Here is my version of easy , tasty , flaky parotas. 

Please note:

I have not used any oil while frying these parotas. You can use ghee or oil. 

This is my quick & easy way of preparation. You can make small pleats on the parota and roll into a round ball. Or roll the dough into a spiral shape ball to make flaky parotas. 

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of wheat flour
• Salt to taste
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp oil
• Water for kneading
• 2 tbsp ghee for brushing. 
• 1/4 cup wheat flour for dusting

Method:

Add salt, sugar, 2 tsp oil to the wheat flour. Add required quantity water(around 1& 1/2 cup) & knead to a smooth  dough.   Apply little oil on the dough & keep it aside for 15 minutes. 

Take a medium size dough ball. 

Now,  with the help of a rolling pin,  roll out the dough into a thin sheet. 

Brush a thin layer of ghee on top & sprinkle little wheat flour . 

Fold the chapathi on all sides( as shown in the picture) . 

Form a ball & roll out again to form a slightly thicker chapathi. 

I prefer small size parotas. You can prepare as per your choice. 

Heat the tawa  and gently place the rolled parotas. 

Fry on both sides till slight brown & crisp.  

I never use oil or ghee while frying. You can add if you wish. 

Delicious flaky wheat parotas are ready. 

Enjoy these hot parotas with delicious meat , fish curry or any vegetables curry. 

Try this dish & enjoy with your loved ones.
