2 cups whole wheat flour + 1 cup of flour for dusting
2 tablespoon of oil + ¼ cup of oil for the layers
Water to knead the dough
Salt to taste
Method
Get a bowl and add the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Use water to make a smooth dough. It should not be too soft and too stiff. Keep it covered and keep aside for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8-9 balls. Roll into a big circle with the roller pin.
Apply oil on to the circle evenly. Then dip it into the flour or sprinkle the flour evenly on the oil layer.
start folding the paratha just as you fold a paer fan. After you are finished with folding, you can see the layers. Hold the ends of the roll and start pulling slightly.
Now roll the dough like a swiss roll or pinwheel. Press the circle with your hands and start rolling again. Use very little flour to roll.
Heat tava/griddle and place the paratha on it. When it starts changing its color, or if the bubbles appear, flip the paratha and cook on the other side.
Apply some oil or butter on top. Serve immediately.
