Ingredients
- 1½ cup wheat flour (atta)
- 1 cup fenugreek leaves, tightly packed, washed and chopped
- 1 green chilli, minced
- ½ fennel seeds
- 2 tsp white sesame seeds
- 1 tsp red chilli power
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp asafetida
- About ½ cup to ¾ cup water to make the dough
- About 30 ml oil for pan frying the paranthas
- ½ cup wheat flour for rolling
Method
Step 1
To make the dough, add all the ingredients (except water) for the dough in a deep bowl. Combine with hands and keep adding water little by little.
Step 2
Knead well so that all the ingredients come together evenly in the dough. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
Step 3
Once the dough is ready, set it aside for about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Now, make 12 large lemon sized smooth balls of the dough. Keep them covered.
Step 5
Heat a tawa or pan. Once it is heated, turn the flame on medium.
Step 6
Roll each dough ball into a circle – just like you roll a chapati. Use the dry flour as needed.
Step 7
Cook the rolled dough circle on the heated pan/tawa. When one side is cooked, apply a little oil over it and flip over. Apply some more oil and press it slightly with a spatula. When it is cooked you can see some light brown spots on each side.
Step 8
Remove it from heat and keep it on a plate.
Step 9
Continue the process with the rest of the dough balls. Pile the cooked paranthas one over the other. It helps in keeping them soft.
Step 10
Serve warm with a dollop of butter if you like. Pair it with pickle and raita for a satisfying and filling brunch.
