PARATHA
Utensils: Large bowl, jug, non-stick frying pan, small bowl, spoon, fish slice, large
spoon, butter knife, plate, kitchen roll, rolling pin, flat surface, cling film, saucer and
foil.
Ingredients Preparation
¼ pint vegetable oil Place into a small bowl with spoon. (To be used in small
amount during the cooking of each Paratha.)
50g plain flour Place in a saucer and set aside.
200g wholemeal flour
(chapatti atta), 1 tbsp
oil.
Place flour and oil into a large bowl and rub together using
one hand, as you would do when making pastry.
4-5 fl oz luck warm
water.
Adding the water gradually, mix the water and flour together
with one hand to create soft pliable dough (You may find that
you do not need to use all the water).
Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes using both hands and set
aside. Cover it to stop it from drying out and leave to stand
for 10-15 minutes.
Method
1 Apply a little oil to the palms of your hands and knead the dough again for 1-2 minutes, then divide into 8 equal parts.
2 Roll each part to form a golf ball, making sure there are no cracks. Flatten it and coat with plain flour. Place onto a flat surface and roll into circles each with a diameter of approximately 6 inches. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
3 Place all rolled out paratha onto a tea towel and cover with another tea towel to stop them from drying out.
4 Preheat the frying pan on fairly high heat. When the frying pan is hot add a little oil (taking care the pan is not too hot to cause a fire.) Gently place the rolled Paratha into the pan. With a spoon press and rotate it to ensure cooking is even. (Control of the temperature is essential at this stage of the cooking, if it is cooking too quickly turn the heat down or turn the heat up a little if the cooking process is too slow). After 20 to 30 seconds lift the Paratha to see if it has blistered. If not return and press again and repeat. Now turn the Paratha over and add a little oil on to the curved edge and with a spoon gently press and rotate it to ensure cooking is even. Check by lifting
