How I make my Ghee Parathas.

I love making triangular layered and yummiest parathas with gee and flour. And everyone love them too and I thought i must share with my blog reader community too. It is very heavy and is a straight No No for anyone on diet.

This is not a rocket science or some fancy complicated recipe. If you are looking for something like that than this is not for you.

Keep reading anyways.

Ingredients:

1. All purpose Flour.
2. Ghee.
3. Water.

Method:

1. Make the dough from flour and water. Neither too dry, nor too moist.

2. Keep it covered for at-least 1 hour.
3. After 1 hour make dough balls of the size of your choice. I prefer the size of a small ball, too little a ball wont make a good paratha.

4. Spread the 2 dough balls and apply hot/liquid ghee.

5. Put one one another, spread a little and apply ghee again.

6. Fold once and apply ghee for the second time.

7. Fold again thus make a triangle.

8. Spread the triangle you just made into a full roti.
9. Put this paratha on  hot pan and apply ghee over it.

11. fry till light brown and turn occasionally.
