Masala paratha recipe – a tasty and easy to make paratha recipe. It is made with spice powders added to it. It is a variation to the regular parathas made at home with spices added to it.
Add whole wheat flour, carom seeds, cumin seeds, chopped green chili, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, amchur powder, salt and coriander leaves in a wide mouthed bowl. Mix well with your fingers.
Add curd or yogurt and mix well. Slowly, add water little by little and knead it to a soft and firm dough. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee, and knead once more. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 10 – 15 minutes.
After 10 – 15 minutes, take the dough and knead it once more. Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Keep aside.
Take ½ cup of whole wheat flour on a plate.
Take each ball, slightly flatten it between your palms in the same way as we do for making patties. Keep the dough on the roller and roll it into a circle of required thickness.
Heat a tawa and grease it with oil. When the tawa is hot enough, place the flattened circle onto the tawa. When you see bubbles on the upper surface, flip it to the other side. Apply oil on the upper surface.
Flip it again and press gently with the back of a spatula, and cook on both sides till golden brown spots appear on both the sides of the paratha.
Serve masala paratha hot with raita or any other curry of your choice.
