Paratha and soup... a perfect combination!
Method:
- Get a bowl and add the flour, pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of oil. Use water to make a smooth dough. Keep it covered and keep aside for 20 minutes.
- Knead the dough again after 20 minutes, and divide them into equal sized balls.
- Get one flour ball and roll out in a circle with the rolling pin.
- Apply one teaspoon ghee or butter on to the circle evenly. Sprinkle couple of pinches of kasuri methi and pickle masala all over the paratha.
- Start folding the circle just as you fold a paper fan. You can see layers at the end. Hold the ends of the roll and start pulling slightly. For step-by-step photos see Lachha Paratha
- Now roll the dough like a swiss roll or pinwheel. Press the circle with your hands and start rolling again. Use the wheat flour to roll.
- Heat tava or griddle and place paratha on it. When it starts changing its color, flip the paratha and cook on the other side.
- Apply ghee on top and serve immediately.
