Malabar Parathas recipe
All purpose flour (maida)- 2 cups
Egg white- 1 (optional)
Sugar- 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Coconut oil- 2 tablespoons
Mix the flour, coconut oil, and sugar and salt with little
water.
Knead well to make smooth dough.
Cover with wet muslin cloth and set
aside for 2 hours.
Then take the dough, add little more oil and knead well once
again.
Now the dough should expand like elastic, when you pull it.
Make lemon
sized balls out of the dough.
Roll out each ball into very thin flat round shape
using a rolling pin.
Then roll from one end to the other to make a lengthy string.
Now roll the string spirally towards inside.
Then flatten it with your hands
to join all the curves.
By doing this the paratha will become a single round shape
with several spiral layers in it.
Now the paratha is ready to fry.
Repeat doing
this with all the dough balls.
Heat a tava and grease it with little oil.
Place the
parathas in the hot tava and cook until both the sides are golden brown.
Dot with
little oil on both sides in between the process.
Repeat this with all the parathas.
Serve hot.
