Paratha - Indian Recipes

Ingredients

Wheat flour- One or two cups
Melted butter
Salt

Knead wheat flour and salt with some water, some melted butter and little salt into a hard dough (the more you knead, the softer the paratha)

Now, make small balls of this-each one inch or more in diameter. Press with hand. Now put little butter, fold into four parts. Roll this into dry wheat flour and roll it, till it is thin and round. It need not be very thin. You may need to sprinkle wheat flour on both sides occasionally, or else it will stick to the roller

Now, place this on heated dry flat pan. When it changes colour (light brown), turn over. Apply some butter on the top side. Now turn over and apply butter on other side also. With the help of a flat spoon, ensure consistent baking on both sides. It is ready when golden brown on both sides
