    Title: Paratha
    Categories: Breads, Indian
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 c Whole wheat flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    1 tb Ghee
    1/3 c Water

    To the flour add salt and ghee and mix well. Add sufficient water to
    make a soft, pliable dough. Knead until elastic. Allow to rest
    15 minutes or more.

    Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Roll into small balls.

    Roll out in circles 3" in diameter. With the fingers, spread a thin
    coat of ghee on the circle and fold it in half. Fold again in half
    and press edges together to seal. Roll this out to the same thickness
    as a chapati, it can be made round if you are skillful. Cook on both
    sides in a hot frying pan. Add about 1 ts ghee around the edges and
    on sides of the paratha. In will puff up almost as much as a chapati.
    For best results it's best to learn paratha-making from an
    experienced cook, but a little experimentation will go a long way!
    Parathas are done when golden brown and puffed to capacity. Don't be
    concerned if some don't puff, when you are learning the art.
