Methi Paratha

Disclaimer ... since I didn't see any new update, heres the recipe of something that you can make very easily and not too much time consuming. The quantities and measurements have been blissfully ignored. You can update the exact quantities if you know them.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour approx 20 oz (trick: take a styrofoam cup or a medium coke cup... thats 16 oz.. assuming you are engineers figure the rest)
• Kasoori Methi 8 oz (small water cups)
• Coriander powder: 2 teaspoons
• Red Chilli powder: 5 teaspoons / 2.5 tablespoons
• Salt: 4 teaspoons (approx)
• Garam masala: 2 teaspoons
• Turmeric powder: 3 teaspoons
• Oil: 3.5 tablespoons
• Water: dont know

Makes about 8 parathas.

Procedure

1. Mix all the ingredients except water into a large dish. Get a cup of water and slowly start adding the water to the mixture. Mix and prepare the dough. Knead it fine and well.
2. Tip: Adding oil into the dough is nice it prevents the parathas from being extremely dry.
3. Now divide the dough into small balls.
4. Flatten each individual ball into thin tortilla like pancake. Note it is better if while you are rolling the parathas you have your sidekick (as in Robin from Batman n Robin) stand beside you to heat the rolled parathas.
5. Now heat the pan at a level 5 - 6 for 5 mins first. If you read the whole recipe first, you would understand then that you can heat the pan at level 4 when you start kneading the dough.
6. While heating the parathas, you or your sidekick may dab the paratha with a drop or two of oil.
7. This is an open ended recipe. you can even add chopped onions or some finely chopped green thai pepper (3 nos).

Storing Instructions: If to be had later, wrap the parathas in Kitchen Napkins. That keeps them moist. If to be had the next day (why? I wonder) wrap them in the tissues and store them in a box. But not in the refrigerator.

Serving Instructions: Eat with a side of plain yogurt or chutney or achaar.

Preparing time: The first time you do this it may take you 30 - 45 mins. Once experienced it will be prepared in 20 mins.

It's a nice quick snack that you can prepare and enjoy.
