Parota

Join with us in EFM - Oats SERIES! Rush up to send in your entries. For more details about the event, click HERE!



Ingredients:

Maida / All purpose flour - 4 cups
Water - 1 cup
Cooking Oil - 1 tbsp ( for kneading)
Salt - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Cooking Oil - 1/2 cup ( to cook parota)

 


Cooking Instructions:

Mix maida, sugar, salt, 1 tbsp oil and enough amount of water and make a smooth dough. Spread 1 tbsp of oil over the dough and cover the dough with a damp cloth and keep it aside for about 2 hours. After an interval of 2 hours, Take a small portion of dough in your hand and Keep the dough in between the index finger and thumb and press it. You will get a lemon size ball from the dough. Repeat the same process until you finish the dough. Again cover those balls with a damp cloth and leave it for one more hour. More the time we leave the dough undisturbed, more easy for us to roll out parotas and parotas will be soft too.


Now take a lemon size dough, apply oil in your hands and the rolling board and pin. Now spread the dough as thin as possible and as large in size as possible. Take the dough from one of its corner side and fold like saree pleats and make a spiral shape from the pleats shape. Repeat the same for the whole dough and keep it aside for 15 more minutes. After 15 minutes, take the dough and just press it by your greased hand till you get a disc shape. Do not roll it out with the rolling pin.




Heat the tawa and Cook the parotas on both sides. Once u finish cooking all the parotas, take 3 of parotas in a plate and keep it ion between both of ur palms and just clap your hands. This process will make the parotas more flaky. Our Parota is ready to serve. I served it along with chicken gravy.

Side Dish: Chicken Chalna, Veg Kuruma and non veg gravies.


I followed the recipe step by step from Kamala's blog. She has explained in a detailed manner with the pictures how to cook parota and really it came out too good when i executed the process in my kitchen.

Hey!

Awesome recipe...didn't know it was that easy to make parotas.

But ...can you explain what you mean by folding the corner like pleats and into a spiral? I don't have a good visual of this.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.
