Parotta

Ingredients:

• Maida /All purpose flour – 2 cups
• Salt
• Water
• oil

Method:


1. Mix the all purpose flour, salt and warm water (I added little sugar). Knead the dough nicely and keep it aside for 1-2 hours. Cover it with a wet towel or a close it with a lid.

2. Check the dough whether you can able to expand it (as a chewing gum) easily. If it is so this is the correct stage to proceed further.

3.Divide the dough into small balls.

4. Roll the dough into a thin layer. (expand it as much as possible)

5. Now apply some oil all over the rolled dough (U can use your hand either a brush to apply the oil)

6.Now gently fold it. (hold the dough with your two hands and and go front and back.(as we make saree pleats) You can see nice folds)

7.Now hold the folded dough with your hands and nicely tap it on the rolling board. So it will expand little more.Now roll it from one end to another. (roll like a mat)

8.Now roll the dough into parathas and place it in hot pan adding enough oil

on both sides until you see the nice brown dots all over.

9.Now remove it from fire and tap it with both of your hands when it is hot (this is to seperate the layers) Serve hot with any kind of kurma of your wish.
