Layered Butter Paratha

๐Ÿณ Instructions

1. Make the dough

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
  2. Add oil or ghee and rub it into the flour until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough.
  4. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Shape and layer

  1. Divide dough into equal-sized balls.
  2. Roll out a ball into a thin circle.
  3. Brush lightly with butter or ghee, then fold into a semi-circle, brush again, and fold once more to form a triangle or roll it like a log.
  4. Roll gently to flatten slightly, keeping layers intact.

3. Cook the paratha

  1. Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat.
  2. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet. Cook for 1โ€“2 minutes until bubbles form.
  3. Flip and brush the cooked side with butter or ghee, cook for another 1โ€“2 minutes.
  4. Flip again, pressing lightly with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and layered.

4. Serve

  • Serve hot with curd, pickles, curry, or chutney.
  • Enjoy the soft, flaky, buttery layers! ๐Ÿงˆ

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

  • Ensure the dough is soft and well-rested for the flakiest layers.
  • Use medium heat to allow layers to cook properly without burning.
  • You can make ahead of time, stack with parchment paper, and reheat on a skillet.
