- 1 tsp Ginger finely chopped
- ¼ tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp Chili powder
- 4 tbsp Ghee
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Process the makhana in a blender jar to a coarse powder.
- To a stand mixture, add all the ingredients except water and ghee. Slowly add water and knead to a smooth and soft dough. This can be done manually too. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough in to 10 portions.
- Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a 8-in circle dusting with flour as necessary.
- Brush the rolled dough with ghee. Make an incision from the centre to the edge. Start from one end and roll into a cone.
- Fletten the cone and roll again into a 8 or 9-in disc. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
- Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. When it is hot, place a rolled paratha and cook for a minute. Brush the top with ghee and flip and again brush the top with ghee. Cook for 40 seconds, flip and cook for 20-30 seconds until golden brown spots develop. Remove from the pan and set aside. Cook the remaining parathas similarly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with dal, chutney, pickle or yogurt.
