Pair these flavorful Indian flatbreads with your favorite curries.
Ingredients:
  • 350g atta flour (see note)
  • 125g plain flour
  • 100g ghee (see note), melted
  • 30.00 ml mixed seeds, (including ajowan, cumin and nigella seeds - see note)
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix flours, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, half of the melted ghee, and 300ml tepid water until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly oiled work surface for 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 16 portions and cover with plastic wrap. Take one portion at a time, coat dough and rolling pin with ghee, and roll into an 18cm round. Brush round with ghee, fold into quarters with ghee in between layers, then roll out again to original size. Sprinkle with seed mixture, press with rolling pin, and sandwich between plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough, ghee, and seeds.
  • In a hot heavy-based frying pan, cook parathas one at a time until golden blisters appear, about 1 minute per side.
