How to make Indian Paratha (Step-by-Step process)

Preparing the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, take 200g of whole wheat flour. Add a little salt, and if you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon of carom seeds for an extra burst of flavor.

    Adding Carom seeds is completely optional.
  1. Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, and mix it into the flour. Keep adding water until the dough comes together.

  1. Once the dough begins to form, knead it gently for 5-7 minutes until it is soft but not sticky, adjusting with extra flour or water if needed; then add 2 tbsp of oil, knead until smooth and stretchy, and set it aside to rest for 15-20 minutes, which will make it softer and easier to roll.

    Tips: The resting time for the dough is key to getting soft and flaky parathas, so don’t skip it!

Shape the Parathas

  1. Once the dough has rested, divide it into small, equal-sized portions, roughly the size of a golf ball.

  1. Take a dough ball, sprinkle it with a little flour, and roll it into a small circle, about 6-7 inches across. It doesn't have to be perfect – the flavor is what matters!

  1. Once you’ve rolled out a thin circle, brush a light layer of oil (or ghee) on top.
    If you want a layered effect, you can brush oil in between the folds, roll it out, and repeat the process. The more folds, the more crispy layers you’ll get.
  2. Fold the circle in half to form a semi-circle, then fold that semi-circle in half again to make a triangle shape. Press the edges gently to seal the folds.

  3. Lightly dust the triangle with flour and roll it out again gently into a triangle shape, keeping the thickness even.

Cook the Parathas and Serve

  1. Heat a tawa or non-stick pan over medium-high heat, then place the rolled triangular paratha on it and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.

  2. Flip the paratha and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear. Then, brush the top with a little oil (or ghee) and flip it again, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.

    Keep your tawa at a medium heat – too high, and the paratha might burn; too low, and it won’t crisp up nicely.
  3. Once your Tawa Triangular Parathas are crispy and golden brown, serve them hot with any veg or non-veg curries such as Chicken Curry, Mutton curry, Dal Tadka.
