What is Paratha?

Paratha, a flatbread native to South Asian nations. Parathas have traditionally been made using a similar technique to puff pastry, where layers are created by laminating the dough and adding a lot of ghee. Depending on the region, the layers might not be present.

We are making a quick vegan version of the traditional recipe today. The batter can be ready in 5 minutes.

This is not the traditional way to make paratha. We are using a similar concept for a quick version.

Notes

*If you are using whole wheat or all-purpose gluten free flour, add a tablespoon more water each time until the desired consistency is achieved.

It's best to choose a high-heat oil. You will get smoke at medium heat, so you should turn on the ventilation of your stove. It is important to be attentive so that you do not burn the bread.
