Tasty food and Healthy body are two inseparable words due to their dependency on each other. Thats why these days we analyse health factor more than the taste element of food that we have it. So here I have come up with Wheat Parota thats traditional, tasty but also an healthy alternative to the very much criticized parotas for their health aspect. You will love it once you try it..!

Ingredients:

  • Wheat Flour - 1 cup
  • Yeast - 1/2 teaspoon or Soured Curd - 2 Tablespoon
  • Salt - To Taste
  • Water - Required for kneading

Method:

  • In a large bowl mix wheat flour, salt and yeast or curd by pouring water.Knead it to a dough like that of normal chapathi or Flat bread.
  • Leave the dough to rest for an hour so that fermentation process could take place.
  • Now take out large sized balls in such a way that one ball would equalize the size of two normal chapathi.
  • Roll out the large ball of dough somewhat thicker resembling a naan(not very thin like that of a chapathi) using the rolling pin.
  • Next gently brush some oil over the rolled out dough.
  • Now using a knife, partition the rolled out dough maintaining a width of almost one inch for each cut portion.
  • Place one partition (one row of rolled out & cut dough) over the other and roll them gently to form the base of a medium sized parota.
  • If you prefer a smaller version like coin parota, just roll one partition instead of two.
  • Now squeeze it down slowly with your hand and slightly expand it a little bit to get the required size of parota.
  • Finally throw them onto a preheated tawa or skillet and cook till they turn golden brown on both sides.

Note:
  • Use oil generously for an enhanced taste while rolling out the dough and while cooking it.
  • Wheat parotas go well with any kind of gravy both veg and non veg like chicken curry, egg roast or chana masala, veg kurmas etc.,
