Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cup Mint Leaves
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Chat Masala Powder
  • tsp Red Chili Powder
  • Water As Required

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, measure 1 cup of (whole wheat flour) and add chopped fresh mint leaves to it.
  • Add red chili powder, salt, chat masala and 2 teaspoons of oil to the flour and mix.
  • Add water, little by little and knead to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
    After the dough has rested, divide it in 3-4 equal parts.
  • Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin circle. Apply 1/4 teaspoon of oil on it.
  • Now sprinkle some dry atta (whole wheat flour) on top of the oil. This makes the paratha flaky.
  • Start folding the paratha from one end. Fold it like a hand-fan by folding it from both sides.
  • At the end you should have folds.
  • Starting from one end of the paratha, now roll it to form a round.
  • Bring the ends together and tuck in the lose end in the center. Now you have a round again.
  • Roll it applying equal pressure to a circle. Don't roll it too thin, paratha should be little thick. In the meanwhile heat a skillet/tawa on medium heat.
  • Once the skillet is hot, transfer the rolled paratha on it.
  • Cook the paratha from one side (the one facing down) till you see some golden spots and then flip the paratha.
  • Wait for few seconds for the other side to cook a little and then apply some oil (around 1/2 teaspoon) on the side facing you.
  • Flip again and press the paratha with your spatula to cook the oiled side.
  • Now apply little oil on the 2nd side as well. Flip again and press the 2nd side as well using your spatula.
  • Sprinkle some dried mint on top and serve mint paratha hot with any curry.
