Ingredients
- 1.5 cup leftover dal, blended I used leftover dal lahsuni, if your dal isn't seasoned be sure to add all of your spices.
- 1.5 cup wheat flour or atta plus additional for dusting
- 1/4 cup kasuri methi
- ghee for greasing your hands plus additional for frying
Instructions
- Combine all of your ingredients in a bowl and knead until you have cohesive dough. Grease your hands with ghee and knead for a few seconds.
- Divide the dough into 12 balls and pat them down slightly. Let the dough rest in a covered bowl for 15 minutes.
- To roll out your paratha, dust one ball in whole wheat flour and roll out until it's about as thick as bhakhri or pie crust. If you want a flaky paratha roll up the paratha into a ball and roll out again.
- To fry, place the paratha on a hot frying pan until one side is partially cooked. Flip it over and put a little ghee or oil in a thin layer on the partially cooked side. Flip it again and put a little ghee on the paratha. Serve with yogurt or any sort of pickle!
