Making Paratha Method I

Method I: Khasta Paratha

• Divide the dough into equal balls. Dust lightly the rolling surface and roll the dough balls into 7-8-inch discs.

• Apply 1 tsp oil evenly over one side. Dust dry maida over this oiled surface.

• Fold one third of the disc as shown in the picture.

• Again fold one third from the other side to form a three layered strip.

• Fold one third of the strip over other two third part.

• Fold again other one third part thus making a square which is nine layered.

• Roll out it into a paratha. At this stage you can cook it on tawa.

• If you want more layers, fold the Paratha as shown below and form a blob.

• Remember each time you have to apply some oil and dust maida over the surface.
• Flour the rolling surface lightly and very gently roll out the blob (pedha) into a flat circle about 7-8” in diameter.
