Home made Paratha (Porotta)

Home made Paratha ( Porotta )

Ingredients for the dough :-

Maida – 2 cups
Water – as needed to prepare the dough
Veg Oil/Dalda – 1 tbsp
Salt 

Method:-

1)Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead the dough together thoroughly just like you prepare chappathi/roti dough.Keep it for 1 hr.covered with a wet muslin cloth.Also you can keep it in an air tight container.Otherise the top of the dough may become dry.

2)Divide the dough into 10 equal portions of size a little less than tennis ball.

3)Take a portion and apply some oil on it.In a flat surface apply oil again and roll out the portion to the maximum (dnt use chappathi rolling board becoz its small size na,use flat surface/table).Make it as thin as possible both length wise and width wise.no need to be worried about the shape,eventhough it breaks in between.You can use a rolling pin for this one also.We are doing this instead of the excessive beating 
required to prepare porotta.Apply a little more oil over the rolled dough.

4)Using both hands make pleates on the rolled dough(just like saree pleates) starting from one end.

5)Then holding at one end of the pleated dough ,rotate it just like a spiral.Keep aside.(just it luk like flower)

6)Repeat the above procedure for each portions and keep it aside.
Again use wet muslin cloth to cover it or keep it in an air tight container.(becoz it il dry soon)

7)Roll out each portion just like roti,but not soo thin.Porotta should be a medium thick.Remember do not apply any flour on it.You can apply some oil/ghee if you like.

8)Heat tawa in a medium flameCook each roti with a little butter/ghee for 2m,turning frequently,until speckled brown and firm.Keep the cooked porotta in an aluminium foil or in air tight container.

9)When 3 or 4 porottas are done,place them in a flat surface and holding them between hands ,beat the hands together.(Just like clapping,but 3-4 porottas are between).do not beat them soo hard such as you break the porottas.We are doing this,just to seperate the different layers.
Remember this does not add anything to the taste.

10)Serve hot.This goes well with any non-veg,Egg roast,Green Peas Masala.or any veg masala/Korma.
