PARATHA

Ingredients:
plain white flour 2 lbs.
oil  2 tbsp.
ghee 1/2 cup melted.
maida 3 tbsp.
salt 1/2 tsp.
Water 1 cup, add more if the dough is too dry.

Method:
Sift flour; add salt and water.  Knead to a smooth dough then apply oil and knead well.  Cover it for 10-15 minutes.
Make 12 balls - Take 1 ball, spread it a bit then apply the mixed ghee and re-roll.  Form it into a square first and then again to a ball; apply a little oil onto each ball then cover and leave for 1/2 hour.  Heat ghee in a karai, make thin parathas with your hands or rolling pin.
Deep fry in hot ghee until light golden brown.  Enjoy parathas with kababs and tikkas.


PURI

Ingredients:
Maida 2 cups
Salt 1/2 tsp.
Ghee 1 tbsp.

Method:
Sift flour; rub in salt and ghee.  Knead with water to a soft dough.  Make balls and roll into a small size.  Deep fry puris in hot oil and enjoy!


CHAPPATI:

Ingredients:
Chappati Flour 4 cups
Salt 1/2 tsp.
Water 2 cups, add more if the dough is too dry.
Oil 1/4 cup

Method:
Knead all ingredients in a large bowl, add more water if needed. Cover and let it sit for at least an hour or more.  This helps the dough to soften up and the yeast in the flour to rise.  Make small balls, roll each into a circle and cook on tawa or frying pan.  These chappatis are good with almost anything.
